BIG STRIKE IN GRAND CENTRAL.
Milling and Smelling Ore Opened Up Of a
Very Hig Grade.

A large body of milling and smelling
ore has been struck in the Grand Cen

Gunnell hill. The strike was made on the
east 800 foot level about 30 feet from the
shaft. The milling ore at this point is
about three and one-half feet wide, with
ten-inch streak of smelling ore which
is considered the best looking ore ever
taken out of the mine. Mr.. Walter Nc.
Masters, the superintendent of the mine,
is we'll pleased with the strike. At pres

from three to four ounces gold per cord,
but the new strike is expected to give
much better returns. In the west drift

good values. The Grand Central is 10

DENVER, May 1S.-(To the Republican,
Your editorial on May 16 on "Give At.
tention to the Mines is timely. What
does not receive proper attention is the
fact that even in the centers Of the old
are practically undeveloped large areas
OF known veins, carrying the same ores
as the largely developed adjacent mines.
The reason of this is that such large
areas not yet developed are owned by
men OF small means. But these small
holdings can be bought and consolidated
for working by strong companies on
large scale. The record made by such
as the Running Lode and the Pittsburg
and Meeker and others in that vicinity
shows how soon great mines can he made
Of the small and long dormant groups,
when once in the hands of those having
the capital to open up the veins.
Several hundred millions of dollars in
square in these old districts waiting for
capital to extract them under the very
favorable mining conditions already ex-
isting there. The character OF the ore
and the total amounts produced by the
above named companies within the last
five years would surprise even Colorado
people and show to all what great oppor-
tunities are there for like successes.

hood of $4,000. The o. K. is one of the
large fissure veins of German mountain
and has been worked under lease and
bond for several months by home pool,
with good results. Mr.. Stephens bought
the mine last September from the Buck
ley estate of New York city and has
developed the mine since then until now
large ore bodies are showing up in vari.
GUS levels and Slopes of the property,
with good ore reserve on hand which
will ere long bring this property into
much prominence among the mines OF
the county.
A large amount of development has
been done, especially in the 400 and 800
foot levels. The o. K. is in the immedi.
ate neighborhood of such famous mines
as the Gregory Buell., German, Bates
Hunter and Others that have produced
millions of dollars. Extensive develop
ments are planned, and the large ore re-
serves on hand guarantee continuous
shipments to the mills and smelters
Mr.. Stephens is also the owner of the
Robert Emmett mine, in Chase gulch,
which produced thousands of dollars
worth Of high grade ore in the past and
is yet very valuable property, but has
been not extensively worked some time,
