IMPORTANT STRIKE is MADE
Two Ounce Ore Delight the Hearts of Grip
pie Creekers,


| Cripple Creek, Colo, Nav 29-The
most important strike made this year
on Globe hill is the find of a three-foot
body of two-ounce ore in the Gladstone.
located on the west slope OF the hill.
The quartz is of phonolitic nature and
has every appearance of having come
TO stay. The shaft has been opened up
for distance of fifteen feet and the
vein shows no signs of weakening.
Manager Granville Moore is of the opin-
ion that the vein is Identical with one
that was cut nearly three years ago in
the old Summit tunnel. The Gladstone
has been worked for the past two years
by different sets OF lessees and alittle
ore was shipped from it in the fall of
1894 from the surface. Last winter Il
was purchased by the Golden Hope
company.
After being idle for some months,
work was resumed today in the Climax,
one Of the properties which is owned by
the Londonderry company, and located
on Ironclad hill. Several hundred tons
OF high grade ore that sampled at the
rate Of $2S. Sc ounces to the ton. Thirty
tons Of SO ore was shipped at the same
time. The property is owned by the
Bankers company and is fast develop
ing into a mine.
The Pharmacist marketed fifteen tons
Of ore yesterday. Six of it was ten
ounce rock and the remainder to ounce.
Superintendent Walden of the Last
Dollar is rushing work in the shaft near
the north end line. 1t is to be put down
$40 feet or 200 feet below the last level.
In the old Slopes he has two men at
work on ore and they manage TO take
out enough 10 pay for the work done in
that portion of the mine. From No. 2
shaft about fifty tons OF ore is taken
out daily.
Sinking has been resumed by Super
intendent Campbell on the Los Angeles
and when the reporter called there this
afternoon some very fine looking quartz
was being hoisted. The value could not
be learned.
The four ounce ore found IN a drift
from the 4oo-foot level in the Orpha
May, which is owned by the Union COM
pany. has been passed through but the
vein is still about six feet wide and
there are some seams which carry ten
ounce quartz. The eceedinCly rich ore
is still in the bottom OF the shaft, how
ever.
Lessee Russell OF the Rather on Raw
en- hill has more visitors these DAYS
than any other miner in the camp. He
has as many men working on the sur
face as he can conveniently handle and
as a result sacks Of ore by the score are
standing all about. Il is still too soon
to determine with any degree of accu-
racy as 70 the workings OF this mine as
il IS very doubtful il the vein has been
found IN place. AS 20 the value OF some
Of the quartz there can be no question
as some OF IL will run into the thous-
ands> II is rumored that n. ". Black
mer Of Colorado Springs has about con-
summated the sale Of the property. The
price could not be learned.
Renshaws lease on the Moloc IS still
in about two feet Of four-ounce ore at
the drift at the Sa-fpot level II is prob
ably the same vein on which the Last
Dollar has taken out so much ore dur
ing the past year.
