STRUCK IT RICH.
Il st. Paul Boys Luck in Silver Ore
in Washington.

in Washington.
VIII S. Monroe is an adept in the mat
ter OF the precious metals, or rather the
gold and silver-bearing ores. Some
thing like year ago he went out into
the state Of Washington on prospect
ing tour, and he recently returned laden
with samples Of the product of his re-
search. 1t comprises in the nam silver
quartz, and it is exceedingly rich.
Washington is destined to become one of
the greatest silver-bearing centers in Amer
lea, he said, toying with an exceptionally
rich specimen. Look at this. This will
assay a deal over 500 ton, and there is lots
| of it where dug 1t up. The mine is hap
PLY located. too, and have an option in It.
1t may sound big, but il is unvarnished
truth. hold an option on big fortune. and
| am now trying TO organize syndicate to
| work it. 1t is no wildcat or col. Sellers
scheme. These samples | picked off the
dump myself and 1 superintended the
assay personally and cannot be deceived
! said 1t is happily located. Let me partieu-
! larize. 1t is at the head of D. G. Corben's
new railroad and only about 1000 feet from
| the station. The road Is known as the Spo-
kane Northern, and is on the Columbia
| river. While ! am also interested i'll the
! Morning and Evening Stsr mine, something
| like ], 500 feet further away, the mine pin
my most sanguine hope is the Emma, and
! that is the mine have been talking TO you
about 1t is right in group of silver mines,
| and it discounts them all. The group is the
| famous Silver Crown, the Dakota. Northern
| Light the Tin Cup and the Emma. The
! townste of Colville is also all good property,
! and will make good money for investors.
! Let me tell you that the lowest assay made
| from the Emma mine yielded S52 to the ton,
| and from this minimum the value has run up
| to a point away above the century mark The
| trend of the Silver Crown ledge runs length
| wise through the Emma, and my option
| holds twenty acres We have sunk a shaft
! only sixteen fee., but the deeper we go the
| richer we find il. 1t is enough, and l ought
| to meet with no difficulties in organizing a
syndicate to work it, ought I?''
The reporter thought there should be
ample capital to accept such an oppor-
tunity.
1.-The thing has to be closed up pretty
soon,' continued Nh. Monroe i've got the
| option but IL won't last forever. Others are
| lying in wait TO get it away from me. Now,
this statement may be of interest to you
merely in confirmation of what have said. II
He handed the reporter declaration
made by Prof. Paul +. Riecker, the as
sistant state geologist of Washington,
in charge of the engineering corps op-
Grating in Stevens county. 1t reads:
''Whlle L was engaged in mining survey.
OH the Silver Crown claim had occasion tc
be instrumental in directing several miners
| in their work, so that they uncovered an ore
body of fifty feet, which had heretofore es
capped their observation. This mine is in
| contact vein lying between limestone anC
| slate, and there is a fair possibility Of it
producing as much as $4,000, 000.''
This relates to the Emma mine.
