Strike in Cripple Creek District.

A Victor correspondent telegraphs
that what promises to be companion
bonanza to the Gold Sovereign find on
the east side of Bull hill is being de-
veloped in the Delmonico on the vest
side The Delmonico lies east of the
Deadwoods. The south half, under
lease to the Rocky Mountain Leasing
Company, is where the remarkable
showing is being developed.
At depth of 200 feet a short cross
cut was driven east. 1t cut vein
having a north and south strike. The
body is eight feet wide and has been
followed for forty feet. Every cubic
inch of this remarkable area contains
values worthy of treatment, while
thirty inches of it contain riches al
most beyond credence.
A recent visitor to the mine filled
his hands with two Jumps of the
moist conglomeTate that forms the
streak. Panning yielded gold as
bright and shiny as if just from the
fire and in a quantity sufficient to
form the knob of a ten-penny nail.
This will give some idea of the quail
ity of the mineral.
No one cares to tell OF a thirty-inch
body worth 81 900 to the ton. Such
a statement savors of exaggeration,
yet the lessees on this property have
been getting 5000 better than these
figures for each ton mined and not
pound leaves the streak that is not
sacked.
This avenue of fortune may be ira
versed from end to end in fifteen
PAGES. 1t has been estimated that the
ore in sight will yield the Stratton
estate $4,000 and the lessees as much
more after all expenses are paid. That
the body extends almost to the sur
face has been proven in trenching.
Its extent into depth can only be con-
jectured, as no lateral work has been
done below the 200-foot level, but its
lateral area in a southerly direction
has been partly determined in an ex-
ploration conducted on the Hull City
placer. The owners of the latter prop
erty followed the streak almost to
their line. 1t was very rich and also
very narrow and entered the Maude
Helena, adjoining the Delmonico.
Lessees on the Helena are r-ospect-
ing for it, but have a considerable dis
tance to traverse. before reaching its
locality. The Rocky Mountain Leas-
ing Company has over two years in
which to extract the Delmonico ore,
but in the meantime must sink and
timber a great three-compartmen
shaft to a depth of 500 feet in ac-
cordance with an agreement with the
late w. s. Stratton.

WHAT is BEING DONE
in THE MINING WORLD
Cyanide at Leadville Mines.

So far at least as Leadville is con-
cerned the words of Mr.. Daniel Gug-
genheim in regard to the condition of
the mining industry are quite true
says the Leadville Herald Democrat.
The district is making a distinct i'm
provement, both in regard to tonnage
and the amount of new work under
way. There is good demand for all
classes of ore. Oxidized iron was re-
Gently somewhat of a glut on the mar
ket, but the smelters have been clean
ing up the supplies and are taking
nearly all that is offered. The Salida
smelter will also take considerable
amount of this material
There will be an increased produc-
ton in silicious ores during the next
two months. The President will soon
be making larger shipments, and the
Fryer Hill Mines Company is getting
ready to handle a large quantity of
silicious ore from the Jamie Lee and
Tip Top, in fact, some of this is al
ready being moved.
OF late there has been a remarkable
awakening of interest in the question
of treating Leadville ore by the cya-
the construction of a cyanide plant for
the Ballard mine was received with
great interest by mining men gener-
ally, for if it should prove to be sue
cessful it will mean a wonderful re-
vival of mining on Breeze hill One
of the greatest difficulties encountered
in mining silicious ore in that section
is in holding up the values of the ore
to the desired grade.
The material occurs in irregular
masses which do not show the uni
formity of value of a similar body of
iron of sulphide, and great care and
attention is necessary in looking after
the sampling. 1t is difficult to mine
this kind of ore if it runs below $12 a.
ton, and the result is that the Penn,
the Ballard, the President, the Big
Six and other properties there are
filled with bodies of material that can
not under present smelling conditions
be made commercially profitable. The
Ibex has many thousand tons of ore on
it's dump which will carry few dol
lars in value, and it is conservatively
estimated that one of the Ballard
dumps of 25,O00 tons is worth in the
gross So to $40 a ton. The manage
ment of the Ballard has at present no
information to give out with reference
to it's milling plans, but it is under
stood that new adaptation of the cy-
anide process is to be used, and that
test shave been remarkably success
full
Local assayers state that there is an
unusual call for cyanide tests, and in
several of them improved facilities for
making these experiments have been
added. Mining men have been watch
ing the advances made in the handling
of low-grade ores, and it is the general
opinion here that the time is not far
distant when the silicious ore of Breeze
hill will be handled much more cheap
ly than at present.
