CRIPPLE MAKES GREAT STRIKE.
Orc That Runs $4,000 Ton Is Dug
From Bull Hill.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-A 6 reat strike
has been made on the Dante property
on Bull hill, where the largest body OF
high grade ore ever opened in strong
and permanent vein in the Cripple
Creek district has been encountered.
There have been numerous pockets of
rich ore exposed and much greater val
ues have been obtained from small
streaks, but in no case has there ever
been seam Of picture mineral over
four inches wide that held out with de-
velopment work.
The high grade Just opened in the
Dante appears In an eight-inch streak
and gives returns of from $17 to $24
to the pound, with an average value OF
$1Y to the pound, or s3S,000 to the ton.
The streak lies in the center or core
of four-foot vein and is not simply a
pocket or stringer, but portion of a
strong ore body.
The vein was encountered several
months ago and has been followed
quite distance, increasing both in
size and value as development was car
ried on. Just four weeks ago today a
three-inch seam of high grade was
opened in the center Of the vein and
the work of separating and sorting
the ore was begun. The vein since that
time has been drifted on for a distance
of twenty feet, with the rich streak
gradually widening out, but not exceed
ing width of four and n half inches
until today, when round Of shots ex,
posed 1t measuring eight incnes across.
The vein on either side OF this high
grade seam carries values Of from two
to five and half ounces in gold. The
property owned by the Dante Gold Min
ing Company, is under lease to the
British American Mining Company.
The leasing company tonight has 200
pounds of the ore sacked and n ship
ment will be made tomorrow with the
expectation OF obtaining returns Of
$4,000 from the small consignment.

Denver banks quite reluctantly and
