1-2Info Title:
Rosetta With Good Indications of Mineral
A two days' jaunt on horseback took me from Rhyolite hill, on the north, to Grouse mountain, on the south, and from Pisgah, on the west, to Wilson creek, on the east, within which boundaries some four thousand claims have been located.

The greater part of those have nothing more than the assessment work done upon them, and in many instances, this has been so indifferently done, and with such an utter abandon and disregard of the statues, that they cannot be held for a moment to comply with the legal requirements.

But, in traversing Ennis, Globe, Gold, Bull, Tenderfoot, Womack, Mineral and a score or more of hills in the district, sources of Cripple, Wilson, Requa, Squaw and other water courses, I came upon scores of properties that were being developed with more or less vigor and intelligence, some with tunnels or inclines, others with shafts or open cuts, and the owners of each full of hope and expectations.

Among those having already good indications of mineral was the Rosetta lode claim on Womack hill.

GOLD KING MINING COMPANY.—The El Paso, owned by this company, is looking well. The mine was for over four years worked by tunnels, but now a 2-compartment shaft, 4 ft. 4 in. by 8 ft., has been sunk 300 ft.

At a low estimate it is stated there are $30,000 worth of ore in the slopes (broken), and the reserves are daily increasing. The property has recently been examined for an English syndicate. The company, within the past year, has bought several adjoining claims.

The mine now employs 60 men.

El Paso Gold King Workings
Although it has been reported from time to time that the El Paso of the Gold King company was sending out a big tonnage of high grade ore, the annual report of that company shows a general average for all ore of but little over an ounce to the ton. This set people to guessing and it now develops that the rich ore comes from the Rosita and Midnight claims.

These are owned by Giddings and Lennox privately, but are worked through the El Paso shaft, hence the big shipments thought to have gone out from that claim.
