eighty feet deep, they have twelve inch
| eS of ore that assays pay. Ward Hunt
| is president of the Moose company. The
/ new owners propose to put a force of
| men TO work at once and VIII erect a
new shaft house and equip il with ma
! chinery and will undoubtedly be ship
| ping ore from one if not two claims
within the next few months.
A strike is reliably reported to have
been made in the Little Emma, located
on the south slope of Mineral hill. a lew
weeks ago, which was secured under a
| bond and lease by a D. Peaser q co.
| and in a cross cut driven from the Dot
| tom Of the fifty-foot shaft TO Gwo-foot
vein of ore was found that assays pay.
| Picked samples OF the ore run as high
| as fifteen ounces. This vein was I'M
| covered by former Iessees, who I'M
doUT5tedly failed TO have the rock as
sayed.
The Gladstone. located on the west
slope Of Globe hill, can show pay min
eral in the bottom OF the thirty-seven-
foot shaft. The vein at this point is
well defined between walls four feet
apart and about half of it assays high
enough to warrant a trial shipment to
one Of the smelters. The property was
recently bought by the Golden Hope
company, the principal stockholders of
which are from Chicago. Two years
ago the owners got out a few tons of
ore that paid expenses, but il has been
idle and no work has been done on il
for over year Until last week.
j. w. Ainssworth of Colorado Springs
claims TO have uncovered vein four
feet wide one-half mile south of Mari
gold, on Wilson creek, that is destined
20 become shipper. a mill run OF sew
per ton in gold. Marigold is located
eight miles south of Cripple Creek at
the junction Of Wilson and Cripple
Greeks, and this section is receiving the
undivided attention Of 1t least 100
miners and prospectors and If there is
pay ore to be found in that locality IL is
pretty liable 10 be found before the
grass is green again.
Munroe Salisbury, the noted Cali
fornia horseman, and w. II. Crawford
of Chicago, equally we'll known in the
same connection, are registered at the
Wolf hotel tonight. This is their first
trip to the district and both are as en-
thusiastic over it as they would be over
a fast trotter. Mr.. Salisbury has had
considerable experience in mining. The
party was driven over a portion of the
district today and at one mine they
were shown the receipts of ore shipped
from the mine for the past few months,
which showed that the ore averaged 81
per ton net. Mr.. Salisbury said it was
amazing and that he never new and
never saw a camp with such bright
prospects and was free to admit that
nothing he had read or heard of Grip
pie Creek equalled what he had seen.
They viii undoubtedly become interest
ed in some mine or good prospect be-
fore leaving.
One hundred and twelve excursion
lists arrived over the Florence and Grip
pie Creek railroad at 1:30 p. m. today.
They have been taking in the sights
this afternoon and are the most enthus-
iastic crowd that ever visited the camp.
The excursion was under the auspices
of the Pueblo mining stock exchange
and the local brokers had the party in
charge and entertained them royalty.
At the evening call on the stock eX-
change Mayor King and Judge Royal
Of Pueblo spoke and said that a rail-
road from Pueblo would be running in
to Cripple Creek before the Fourth of
July next. The eXcursionists left at 10
o'clock and will return home with re-
grets in that Pueblo did not build the
first railroad into camp.
A party of engineers from Pueblo are
now encamped at the head of Turkey
creek, within the limits OF the Cripple
Creek district. The chief engineer
claims that a grade not to exceed 81
per cent at any point can be found
from Pueblo via Turkey creek into the
town of Cripple Creek, and that the
york of construction will be commenced
within thirty days. There has been ru-
mors floating around for some time
that the Missouri Pacific would build
into camp from Pueblo and the survey
ors now in the field are believed to be
working for that big corporation. The
Pueblo visitors here today assert, how
ever, that it viii be an independent
line built principally by Pueblo CAPT
talists. The distance TO the town by
this route will be about fifty-five miles.
A shipment of several tons of ore was
made by the May Queen to the Cripple
Creek sampler today.
\ new shaft house is nearing compile
ton on the Hoosier.
The owners of the New Lode located
on the south slope of Squaw mountain,
have let contract to sink the shaft
house an additional forty feet. which
will the make il 100 feet 1t is the in
tention to run drifts and cross cuts
from this point.
Three car loads of ore which were
shipped from the Jennie Sample, one of
the Gould properties, located on the
west slope Of aRven hill, have been
heard from. One car was high grade |
that went little better than five
ounces, and the other two averaged $50 |
per ton. This mine is one of the late |
made in the district and il |
gives promise of developing into a good |
one.
