Cripple Creek" he said, far surpasses the
widest anticipations of those who had the
greatest hopes for the future of Leadville.
Cripple Creek will produce more gold in the
next twenty years than any camp ever
known. Leadville has produced over $780,

they have been mining seventeen years at
Cripple Creek, ii Is safe to say that the
camp will have produced $000O0,O00. There
seems to be a general impression that
values at Cripple Creek are confined to
small seams of porphyry. The fact is that
in great many cases there are great
lodges as well defined as any lodes in the

Governor had no hesitation in saying that
the mines of the Cripple Creek region will
