A strike which promises to be q SEN
sational one has been made at the ORR
ole mine at Old San Domingo. San

about year ago by the Ardath Gold
Mining company, made up chiefly OF
Indianapolis capitalists, with F. Q.
White as superintendent. The OriOle
is by no means new property. 1t
was known many years ago as the San
Domingo mine and was profitable, but
superfcially worked by Mexicans who
took out several thousand dollars in a
short time, reducing the ore by the
crude arastra process. When they had
worked everything in sight they aban-
doned the property. Repub-
