FABULOUS RICHES.

Strike of Wonderfully itch Ore In the
isabella at Cripple Creek.
The Rocky Mountain News prints
! news of, the discovery of remarkably
rich ore in the Isabella, at Cripple
| Creek. President Williams gives out
the following concerning the strike:
I'VE encountered last night new dis
coyery in the present rich vein of ore
from which we have been shipping
that is fabulously rich. What 1t is in
extent or richness or value, l cannot
say. How long it will continue l can
not say. Measures to guard the mine
have been taken, and we have in
structed the manager as to protecting
the property"
When the news of the strike became
known in Colorado Springs everybody
went wild. The scene upon the min
ing exchange beggared description.
Men raved like wild animals and lost
all control of themselves. Pandemo-
mum reigned. The stock opened at
9T1a and quickly advanced to SIG.
Tonight S1.50 is bid. t
In the widest place along this chute
early Saturday morning solid metal
lie sylvanite eighteen inches wide, and
alongside it eighteen inches of almost
solid gold took the place of the OK
idiZed rock. The miners were almost
afraid to rely on their own eyes.
Pocket knives We're brought into use
and the malleable slabs of gold We're
Whitfield. The yellow stuff whittles
like so much lead.
Your correspondent saw chunks of
the sylvanite this evening that were
three inches thick and solid metal.
and chunks of the oXidized ore of the
same width that he Whitfield with his
pocket knife. No assays have been
made on the rock: it is not necessary.
but pieces of the free gold ore. if ore
it can be called at all. run over $780,
900 per ton. The MOllie Gibson never
produced any ore that carried more
ounces in silver per ton than this Isa
bella ore does in gold. With every
hours work the streak is lengthening
and widening.
Joining this metallic body there is
six feet of quartz that will run from
$1,000 TO $1,000 per ton.
Manager Kilburn said to your corre-
spondent tonight Il do not like to
say anything that will excite the peo-
pie any more than they are at present.
The metallic ore body has doubled in
size both ways since yesterday morn
ing. Some of the pieces of ore are so
per cent. gold. l never saw such min
eral. and l do not believe that its like
was ever mined in this or any other
camp in the world. We have had no
assays taken on the rock. But ton
of it could be picked out that would
run anywhere from $4,000 to $780,
900 per ton.
ARMED guards are watching the
property. The strike was made in the
new ore body at depth of $50 feet
below the surface. The chute has
been cut at the seventh level 200 feet
above, and also at the fifth. At the
latter place an assay was obtained in
the breast of the drift yesterday on
two feet of ore that went better than
$1,000 per ton. There is at least
blocked out in the one level between
the ninth and seventh levels $1,000
600 worth of ore

Mining Notes.

The Mendoza claim, mt Fulford, Ea.
gle county, has opened into an ore
body from which assays of 1.31e
ounces of silver to the ton have been
obtained.
The Bonanza mine. at Grants Pass.
Oregon, recently produced twenty tons
of ore. the result of n single shot.
which contained $4,000 worth of gold
most of which was free.
\ two-foot streak of heavy galena
was recently struck in the Little Mac
claim of Cement creek, San Juan coun.
ty. The ore averages from 4 to per
cent. copper, 10 per cent. lead and i.
ounces silver
The electric drills brought from Ger.
many by Il. q. Stoiber of the Silver
Lake mine of San Juan county proved
n complete success on the test run,
penetrating solid granite at the rate of
seven feet an hour.
Marion Drury has opened n vein of
ore thirty feet wide in the Little Ruby
claim, on the Nallecito river. La Plata

wire. not much bigger than a telegraph
or telephone wire. 1t was in Colorado
that the first applications on a large
working scale were applied, and the
combination of water power and cleo
tricity was put in practice. The in
stallment at the Virginius mine is fa-
miliar example.
Now we find electricity employed for
hoisting, pumping, drilling and all the
operations of mining. There was
hitch about the drill, the gadder and
the coal-cutter but it seems to have
been overcome; so that it is now safe to
say that there is nothing done in min
ing which can be done by steam power
directly, or directly by compressed air
or wire rope transmission, which can
not be done equally well by electricity

ence in first cost. running expense and

that in come cases electricity has

SorS.
Recently the advances have been
quiet, but in r,aiity revolutionary. In
Ohio and Pennsylvania coal mines
electric coal-cutters have made place
for themselves, despite the opposition
of those who desire to maintain hand
labor and object to all machinery on
general principles. and the antagonism
of rival machine systems.
Underground haulage is another
wide field for electricity. The system
is particularly applicable in this direc-
ton. supplanting the clumsy chains.
wire ropes. etc. and lessening the
chance of accidents.
OF recent noteworthy plants we
now mention only that of the Colorado
Electric Power Company, at Canon
City. II full description of whose plant
has already been published in the En-
gineering and Mining Journal.
The advantages of electric power dis
tributed to small consumers are we'll
proved at Cripple Creek. This is
most important point-the installing of
small power plants where the mine
owners could not afford steam hoisting
and pumping works.

ALASkA'S PLACER GOLD,
Discussion as to the source From Which
1t Comes.

1t Comes.
On the islands and coast of Alaska
the formation is granite with slate
contact. Wherever quartz ledges are
found after crossing the coast range
lime, porphyry and slate predominate.
Where lime abounds there seems to be
no mineral; the country rock has all
been thrown up with second erup-
ton. 1t is mixed together. punches of
barren quartz mixed in, all lying fiat,
no first formation on edge, and not a
quartz ledge from the lakes down the
river as far as this place, over 700
miles. Some of the cliffs here show
slate, quartz and porphyry soldered to-
gether from the eruptions; the quartz
is of such n fine rose character as
would make Il prospector look for gold
in it. 1t is barren. The convulsion that
came after the first formation mixed
the lodges up with the country rock
and the heat run the gold out of the
quartz. Time and water worked it into
channels and pay deposits. Some have
been claiming that glacial action wore
the gold out of the rock: if it did there
would still be gold left in quartz rock
not worn and ground fine. 1t is not q
first formation placer like some of Cal.
ifornia, notably on Feather river,
where the bedrock is on edge and
quartz seams and stringers between.
There the gold was made; instead of
adhering TO the quartz it formed in
coarse particles in the clay seams be.
tween the rock. As the surface wore
away the gold settled back to bedrock,
and on the mountains around are
quartz lodges. Here it is different; the
ledges that have been are all scattered
on the surface or soldered in bunches
through the country rock. If any
ledges are found here it will be i'm u
different formation. one that has moi

The aim of the office of Road Inquiry
is to cooperate with people of the sew
eral states in making the best possible
use of material within their reach in
road making, says the secretary of
agriculture. Large areas in many of
the states have no gravel, rock, or
other hard material with which to
make roads. l have had experiments
made during the present year with
steel as extensively as our means would
permit. An experiment of this kind
is being conducted at Cleveland, Ohio.
A section of 500 feet OF steel track has
been laid on n street in the suburbs
where the traffic is heavy, and its value
is already generally acknowledged. A
sample steel road $40 feet long has
been laid upon the grounds of the ex-
position at Omaha. 1t is proposed to
make traction tests upon this track
to show how much less power is re-
quired to move load over such road
The steel road is not excessively costly
by comparison with other roads and
will last much longer with less repair
and Is probably the most economic
road for localities where material ia
not obtainable for macadamizing.
