Of about 800 per ton.
A story comes from Basin regarding
the finding of a cache of rich ore in the
Hope mine. AS is we'll known some of the
ore in the upper workings of the Hope
was very rich, the quartz being well filled
with seams of pure gold. One of the men
who was employed in the mine at that
time made a practice of selecting rich
pieces of ore and laying them aside and
continued this until he had six assayer's
sacks full. This was concealed On the
100 foot level and the man finally left the
mine without taking it with him. He has
recently been i'll and in a hospital in
Butte. He told a man named Strasbur-
ger of the cache and Strasburger went to
the present owners Of the property with
q proposition to look for the hidden
riches. He agreed to give the owners 40
per cent. of the value found and retain
60 per cent. for himself. On examination
ha found the old drift filled up with
waste but worked away to near the loca-
ton designated and failed to find it. In
the meantime the sick man partially re-
covered and when he came to Basin they
We're refused admittance to the mine by
Mr.. Fogerty, the boss, but got an order
from Mr.. Spriggs, the manager. They
went to the place and after working a
short time found the ore. The sacks had
rotted away but they gathered the ore
and will a it milled. The value of it
is not yet known but as compared with
some of the rich stuff that formerly came
from the mine it is supposed to be worth
from 5000 toss, 900.
