made By the aasayer. who has become

>" The mine was visited to-day By the
Colorado capitalists who are here for
mesits OF the phonolite district vest Of
neadwood. Among the men were
John Hsrnan. vtee president Of the
Portland Mining Company: Thomas
Burns. with the same company. and
Spencer Penrose. an owner In the Colo
RADIO Philadelphia reduction plant.
These eentlemen were aatoniahed At
what they found and expressed their
surprise freely. The ore was COM
pared with the Cripple Creek ore and
1t was stated that one kind OF the
Grants ORE. which is gray In color. re-
sembles the same class Of ore In the
Portland mine. The values in both the
Grant1 and In the Portland. In this
kind Of ose, run about the same. While
the yalnes that arr being found in the
Grant1 mine Do not quite equal the
richest Cripple Creek miEea. the fact
must be considered that the Gfantx dis
eovesy b Just under the Krass roots.
An assay q $16.OC was obtained
from q Weather-sta stained boulder which
was plowed out from the surface.
Mr.. Grantx will probably erect . ten
stamp mill himself. with . cyanide at
tschment. and viii treat his own ore.
He has . numher OF other ore veins on
his ground which contain both free
milling and refractory ore and he now
has enough capital to erect . plant to
handle these Other orea.
