1t was under such an arrangement that
he set out for Cripple Creek In April, 1891.
Samples Of ore which had lately come down
from that region led him to believe that 1t
would give up a great store OF wealth to the
man who had the persistence and the knowl-
edge to examine 1t thoroughly.
He had been working on the grubstake
contract for a month or two when the man
who was putting up the money concluded
that It was q bad bargain and quit within
striking distance OF millions.
Stratton went back to Cripple Greek, re-
plenished his store OF necessaries, and on
July 3 rode out of town on horseback to
resume his prospecting, this time on his
own hook, with no one to stand the loss
or divide the gain, as the case might be.
The next day he did something which
showed that, like nearly all persons with
SUFFICIENT Imagination to do great things,
he was a man Of sentiment.
He staked out two claims, and, as 1t was
the Fourth Of July. he named one indie
pendence and the other Washington. 1t
was q happy thought for the greatest day
in STATIONS life.

In 1894 $50, 900 was all he had cleaned up

In 1894 $50, 900 was all he had cleaned up
from the Independence. From that tim
on, however. the product OF the mine was
fabulous. stratton was taking put not less
than a million a year when IN 1898 he sold
a controlling interest in the mine to an
English company for $40. 900, 900. He some
times regretted this bargain, and his faith
in Cripple Creek never wayered. The bulk
OF his money when he died was still in

Out Of those two claims so periodically
named stratton accumulated a fortune
estimated at S14. 900, 900 and other men also
grew rich beyond the dreams Of svarice. An
early assay from the Independence showed
ore that yielded $3.50 to the ton; so Stratton
wasn't long in making up his mind that he
would hold on to that claim and get the
money he needed for further operations
from the Washington, for he did need
money, never more than at that moment,
when millions lay Just beneath his feet.
He sold or leased the Washington for a
sum that is sometimes stated as 6 5000,
sometimes as 1000. At any rate he got
about SIC, 900 in ready cash out Of the deal,
and later, when the buyer or lessee failed
In the required payments, the Washington
reverted to the possession Of its discoverer.
With the first SO 900 that he got out Of
the Washington stratton set TO work on the
Independence. He was never in a hurry
about taking out gold, even in later years
when he had the capital to push things to
the limit II he chose to do so.
