RICH STRIKE.

The News Dispatch of Leadville
states that the Bon Air mine in what
is known as the down town district
produces ore valued ut 50, 600 per car
load. 1t further says:
That the downtown properties are
to again become that part of the dis
trcti ON which the prosperity of Lead
evident every day.
1t was only year or so ago that
experts in mining and those supposed
to be the best posted ON mining affairs
declared that the downtown mines
were worked out. and that every cent
put into developing them was only
thrown away.
The few who insisted that there
must be ore there, and in large guam
titles, were laughed at. In vain did
they argue that there was everything
to indicate that the ore chutes of the
Morning Star and the Evening Star
and the Elk continued over to these
mines; the mining men simply would
not believe it.
Now their Judgment is verified.
The rich strikes that have been
made in the Penrose, the Coronado
and the Bon Air are undoubtedly
continuation of those old ore chutes
that meant so much for Leadville in
the early days.
The strike made in the Bon Air
last month, as told in the News Dis
patch at the time, was one of the
most important made in years. But
Just what it was and what it really
meant was not recognized at that time.
The management of the mine did
not fully realize what they had until
their first shipment of this ore last
week. They shipped two cars and the
smelter returns show that the ship
ment will net over $40, 900. The ore
is lead and silver chloride, that lies
over a large body of iron, All the
ore has not the value of this first ship
ment, but the entire deposit they have
uncovered will average from $50 to
500 ton.
