Abstract: We develop the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Manin-Hitchin-Nahm construction to study SU(2) non-abelian charge 3 monopoles within the algebro-geometric method. The method starts with finding an algebraic curve, the monopole spectral curve, subject to Hitchin's constraints. We take as the monopole curve the genus four curve that admits a $C_3$ symmetry, $$, with real parameters $alpha$, $$ and $gamma$. In the case $alpha=0$ we prove that the only suitable values of $$ are $pm5sqrt2$ ($$ is given below) which corresponds to the tetrahedrally symmetric solution. We then extend this result by continuity to non-zero values of the parameter $alpha$ and find finally a {em new} one-parameter family of monopole curves with $C_3$ symmetry.
