THE STRICKEN DEER.
Wonderful Endurance Shown Some
times When MortaiIy Wounded.

The capacity of deer to withstand
the shock of bullets sometimes ap-
proaches the marvellous. There are
many instances of a deer shot under
full headway that has run a hundred
yards with hole through the heart.
There are instances of deer shot
through the brain and knocked fiat
that have bounded up and fallen dead
fifty yards from the place of their un-
doing, and stranger still, one instance
of a deer's going more than a mile with
fore and hind leg on the same side
smashed to smithereens with a raking
shot from the rear
So plentiful are these instances that
hunters have way of saying that no
deer is dead until it has ben grail
loched. nor is there any shot which
is absolutely certain to stop them dead
in their tracks save one through the
neck. severing the spinal cord. These
animals are SO swift, they coordinate
so admirably and their muscular sys-
TENS are of such perfection that instan-
taneous extinguishment of the vital
spark is achieved but seldom. no mat
ter how expert the man behind the
gun.

Will Use Oxidized Iron Ore.

The American Smelling and Refn-
ing Company has announced that ev-
cry ton of oxidized iron ore that can
be produced in the Leadville district
for the next thirty or sixty days at
least, will be handled by the smelters
at Leadville and Denver.
This is on a new schedule made by
the smelling company and is a waiver
of treatment charges on low-grade
iron ore. The temporary waiver of
treatment charges applies to all forms
of oXidized iron ores carrying up to
five ounces in silver and forty per
cent. iron excess. The ore is received
on the basis that when it nets the
mine over SO any excess from that
amount up to $3.50 is to be retained
by the smelter. There has been a
treatment charge of 80 cents on this
class of material and the result was
that there were many leases in the
camp which were unable to ship this
low-grade iron ore. The fact is plain
ly evident now that the smelter needs
this class of material and throwing
open the market as above stated
large number of properties on Carbon
ate and Fryer hills will be enabled to
che ok out a large tonnage of iron ore
during the month of November
The output of the camp at present Is
about $500 tons a day. This tom age
of course, includes a heavy production
of zinciferous ores, a portion of which
comes from the dump of the Meyer
mine, which is shipping 700 to1 s
day of zinc-bearing mineral With the
opening this week of the production of
iron oxides it is quite probable that
the tonnage will run up to 2,7OO to q
500 tons day within the next week.

WHAT IS BEING DONE
In THE MINING WORLD

The management and directorate re-
ported that all ore bodies had been
worked out and that the new ore bod
les wherever entered were of too low
grade to be shipped and that in order
to make success of the proposition 1t
was necessary to carry on more ex-
teIsive prospecting work and to get
mere ore blocked out. 1t was shown
in the report that from March to Oc-
tober of this year the Home company
has shipped 1862 tons of ore. from
which it received from the smelters
$685. The average value of all ore
mined was $2.69, from which. after
paying expenses, the company had
nothing left and was running in debt.
The Indebtedness on October 4th
amounted to $7.1S0.
A resolution was passed instructing
the directors to give mortgage en-
the leases, machinery and other prop
erty of the company for the purpose
of settling the Indebtedness and car
rying on development work. If the
money is raised this prospecting work
will probably be carried out in both
the Penrose and Alice shafts.

NEW STRIKE IN OLD GILPlN.
Rich Vein Uncovered in the Saratoga
Mine at Great Depth.

One of the greatest strikes ever
known in Gilpin county has been made
in the Saratoga mine. This is his
torical mine of the Kingdom of Gill
PIN property which in the early
days yielded large values, but for a
quarter of a century the ore brought
to the surface was low grade and
hardly paid for mining and trarspor-
tation. The property is owned by j.
H. Berry. the Detroit millionaire, who
backed DR.. F. r. Carpenter in the erec-
tion of the new smelter at Golden anl
also has been financially responsible
for d number of large leases in Gilpin
and Clear Creek counties.
Dr. Carpenter has been for months
going deeper into the Saratoga, having
faiLh that the value of the ore bodies
would increase. At depth of 1000 feet
his faith was rewarded and a body of
ore was opened which is as rich as any
thing ever found in the mine in even
It's paimiest days. Yesterday the ore
uody had been explored to a width of
0'enty-eight feet and gave no signs of
;lwali. This body, according to we'll
nSlrmed mining men who are ac-
quainted with the property, is not less
than 500 feet in length and can he
stoped to a height of several hundred
feet 1t was pronounced one OF the
most remarkable treasure deposits ever
Uncovered in mining region that for
forty years has contributed steadily to
the wealth of Colorado and mine own
e-s residing in the East.
The success in discovering an i'm
mcnsc deposit of pay ore at depth of
1000 feet is regarded as another evil
dence OF the permanency of the mines
of Gilpin and Clear Creek counties.
Many OF these properties are more val
liable to-day than they were quarter
of century ago, and they have heen
worked almost continuously. The Sar-
atoga consists of several hundred acres
and has baffled mine managers Tor
years in their efforts to make the prop
erty pay. 1t is said that sixty carloads
of ore have already been shipped from
the great find and hardly made an i'm
preston on the ore reserve. The value
per ton is withheld from the public, but
it is said to be so high that everybody
in the secret goes about with happy
expression upon his face. The ore is
being received at the smelter at Gold
eli and is the highest grade ore that has
ever come down the canon to that
plant

Leasers Active on Bull Hill.

Fropertie1 on Bull hill are baing
mC-e actively worked at present than
at any time since there has been a
Cripple Gre ek Nearly every piece of
ground is Icing worked either by the

ing made by lessees nearly every day.
Probably the best showing uncovered
rec entity is that on the War Eagles, but
the discoveries made on the Pharma-
cst, Free Coinage, Delmonico, Shurt-
loft Empire State, Trachyte and Vim

by all the ompanies, there is no qles
ton that ithin the next few mouths

smAlters. The companies that have
tried the pf opostion of leasing have
fonnd out tat it pays. Scarcely any

less than twenty-five per cent. royalty,

IMPORTANT STRIKE AT LEAD.
WILLIE.
Rich Ore Found in Virgin Ground on
Fryer Hill.


Fryer Hill.
A Leadville dispatch to the Denver
Republican on the 18th says:
This camp comes to the front to-day
with one of the most important strikes
of the year, and also a strike of great
importance in still another part of the
district The big find referred to was
made in the property of the Progress
sive Mine and Development Company,
which is ofiicered by Denver people
and which has spent year in carry
ing on important work which now
promises big results. One of the most
important features of the new shaft is
the fact that it is made in an entirely
virgin part of Fryer hill, further north
than any mine has heretofore been de-
veloped, and from present appearances
gives promise of being an extension OF
the celebrated Fryer hill shoot, which
made that locality such bonanza in
the early days.
Up to a late hour tonight ten feet
Gaore had been opened up by the com
IRhy. The ore is a lead carbonate and
on six assays shows an average value
of $4650 a ton. The ore runs from
twenty to seventy-two ounces silver,
forty-five to siXty-fiye per cent. lead
and .04 to "a gold. This slight gold
assay is important as it shows gold
for the first time in that part of the
Leadvlle district.
The main body of the ore where the
strike was made is exactly the same
character of naturalization as that
found in the Chrystolite and other big
producers on Fryer hill. The work
has been conducted under the man
agement of w l.. Cooper. The com
pany's property is known as part of
the old Olathe placer. and while 1t is
putting down a new shaft on a portion
of this placer the strike just made
was on the o. K. claim of the Katy
Mine group, which is part of that
combination. The strike was made at
a depth of $50 feet. on drift about
twenty-five feet from the shaft The
drift tonight is following the ore and
Manager Cooper is quite confident that
he has not opened pocket but has
caught the virgin territory, the extern
sion of the Fryer Hill ore shoot.
If the new strike continues as prom
Using as it shows to-day, it will mean
much new work for that part of Fryer
hill In fact, the New Fryer Hill Mines
Company, which has recently drained
its big acreage through the Ell Paso
shaft and is already operating num-
Der of it's claims, feels so confident
over the strike that tomorrow morn
ing it will commence a new shaft sew
eral hundred feet from the present
strike, which will be sunk on the ore
body.
Another strike of Importance is that
just made on the property of the Val
ley Leasing Company. This combina-
IN is headed by eastern capital. The
property adjoins the New Monarch.
The company announces that in its
new shaft. being sunk, at depth of
about $50 feet, it has encountered an
ore body, assays of which run from
one-half to two ounces in gold, twen-
ty-seven to forty ounces in silver and
thirty-eight to sixty per cent. lead. 1t
will take several days to determine the
extent of the strike.
