Other Matters Than Gold Excite Interest,"
IN Cripple Greek.
Cripple Greek, Colo, Jan. 31.-News
reached CRIPPLE Creek yesterday that
there was likely TO be trouble at Mar
igold camp on account of alleged claim
jumping attributed to ]. c. Ralphsny-
der, who is said TO have a party of sur
veyoi,s with him, and is accused of TAX
ing up everything in sight without any
attention 10 location stakes of men who
staked claims several months ago. Mr.
Ralphsnyder. who has been mining for
a number of years, asserts that he is
taking up only such ground as he be
lieves himself entitled to. MarigOld is
located about ten miles south of Cripple
Creek at the junction of Cripple and
Wilson creeks, in Fremont county. For
the past two years there has been a
good deal of prospecting in this vicinity
and only in the past few months has
there been much attention paid 10 the
district. Several claims have been
opened W and it is reliably reported
that ait least one shipping mine has been
found running in copper, silver and
gold
The Caledonia has been secured under
lease and bond by the six McMaster
brothers. The old shaft house is being
torn down and new one is located one
mile south Of Cripple Creek, on the
southwest slope OF Gold hill, and has
produced many thousands of dollars.
and some Of the richest ore ever mined
in the Cripple Creek district has been
taken from it. The vein however. IS
very badly spotted and IT IS doubtful
whether Mr.. Stratton, while il was be
ing worked by him, made the property
pay expenses. The McMaster brothers
are well known mining men and are
confident they viii make the Caledonia
one of the big shippers Of the distric:
The Caledonia vein is IN granite and
the shaft has been sunk to a depth OF
i25 feet. Two drifts have been run
The property has been idle for the past
year.
Kindau brothers are reported u have
struck IL rich n the Nellie BY. located
On Beacon hill At a depth OF twenty
feet they have a three and c1e-half vein
with eight inches Of ore along the hang
irgs wall that assays better than two
ounces. The walls are OF porphyry and
granite, and from present indications
the claim will add its name 70 the lis
Of shippers before many weeks.
