CRIPPLE taEES, Colo, Sept. Is,
L. d. Finn, an examining engineer of
Cripple Greek is behind a pro, sct
which ought to do a good deal toward
showing up values in the -Four Nile
Creek mining section which lies inashe-
diately west Of the Cripple Greek dis
trict and extends to the eastern limits
of the Bare Hills mining country in
Fremont county. Mr.. Finn is driving
the Dana tunnel 8. 600 feet into Goody
mountain When the bore is 1000
feet into the mountain q depth Of
638 feet will be reached. The Gown
try being crosscut by the bore Is
thoroughly characteristic of the Fonr
Mile section. If Mr.. Finn finds values
other prospectors will be encouraged
to renew work in the district. Shauld
the Dana tunnel be failure, q result
will undoubtedly be severe blow to
the district, which is as yet almost
entirely prospective in its character.
Country rock all through this re-
gion is pretty well impregnstedswith
gold. The character is syentic granite.
Before it was definitely decidedlto be-
gin driving the Dana bore fifteen as
says were taken from float and sur
face rock from Soody and adjoining
mountains. Returns showed values
of from ST. to So to a ton in free
milling ore. No vein or dyke shows
on the surface of Goody. Mr.. Finn.
however, believed that the country
rock must have had some blind lead
from which to draw the values dis
closed by the assays. On this theory
the tunnel was started.
One hundred and tifty-one feet is
the present length of the bore. The
entire breast, four and one-half feet
wide, averages $4 to ton. This is
entirely in the country rock. When
the tunnel was in 100 feet twenty
two-inch vein was cut. 1t carried
porphyriiic granite and assayed from
So to $lo. No effort ives made to
follow the lead. Later a cross-cnt
will be run from the tunnel and a
winze sunk on this vein.
West of Four Mile creek the forma-
tion chan ses to what is termed an
amygdaloid, a composition apparently
of silica and carbanate of lime. The
deposit covers the earth to depth
varying from eight to 800 feet. The
300-foot depth in this formation was
reached by the shaft of Warreutpro-
perty in the Bare hills country. The
stuff is free milling and if it coatains
the values that assays taken recently
would indicate, Fremont county may
eventually have one of the greatest
Iow-grade camps in the United States.
There Is more catarrh in this section
of the co.nry than all other d.seases

years was supposed to be incnrable.
