The organization of the Valley Forge
Gold Mining company was com pleted
on August Is according to the Colorado

porated with capital stock of 100000
shares

La Vergne, president: L. f Sherman,
vice president; NJ F. Stark, treasurer,
vino, together with E. R. S ark, K.
Talper and LouisP. Schneider aud Il.
B Neff, constitute the directorate.
A. w. Conacher was elected secretary
and Fl J. Matthews superintendent and
general manager of the company's
properties.
The holdings of the company consist
of two claims, the Valley Forge and the
Tryphena, located on Gold Hill, Boulder
county, for which the company paid
about $4,000. The Valley Forge claim
has been developed by tunnel OF 800
feet in length. also 50 foot shaft at
mouth of tunnel. The depth attained
where the tunnel cuts the ore shoot ex-
tends to within y feet of the surface.
1t is claimed that there is an ore body
of sonnet hing like I8 inches in width and
that this tunnel has interseCted this ore
chute, some % feet in length, showing
high grade tellurium ore and assays
taken show values from SO IS 100 ounces
IN gold per ton.
Samples Of the ore are to be seen at
the offices of the company weighing
over 100 pounds, and assays made from
these chunks by Colorado Springs assay
ers show values of ia ounces in gold to
the ton. 1t is estimated that there is
s25, 900 worth in sight.
The company will proceed at once to
cleaning out the tunnel and prepare for
extensive development work. as well as
the installing of plant of machinery as
soon as possible and to resume ship
ments.
The property has not been worked for
some time, owing 10 the death of some
of the owners, but has produced some.
thing like 81 5000 worth of ore. The
companys properties are surrounds d by
paying mines, some of which are paying
monthly dividends of $4,000 to $4,000.
Application will be made in the near
future to list the stock on the Colorado
Springs Mining exchange.
