RICH STRIKE OF SILVER ORE rs
MADE.
(From Wednesday, Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
News of what promises to be among
the most important silver strikes made
in this county in recent years reached
here yesterday from the Turkey Creek
district, where John Gender uncovered
paystreak last week that samples
So ounces of silver to the ton. The
ore shoot shows thickness of three
feet. all high grade. the rich streak re.
ferred to averaging foot in thick
ness.
4 ton of st7.ouncc ore is now on the
dump ready for shipment, besides two
tons Of lower grade that would be
considered very high grade ore in 9th
err properties. The ledge shows
width of 40 feet in crosscut tunnel
where the find was made. The vein
matter is 40 soft that no drill steel is
used to sink holes, tnis being done by
augur.
Fifteen years ago r. III. Row, now
mining in the Mineral Point district,
discovered noat rock very rich in sill
yer AT the scene of Condcr's discovery.
lie ran an open cut into the hill in
hope of striking the origin of the sill
yer rock and abandoned the claim after
running fifteen feet. Last summer,
Gender arrived here from Goldheld,
Nevada, and was attracted TO the Tur'
kew Creek district where he settled
with his family. lie found some rich
silver float further up the hill from
where Row run the open cut years ne
fore. He cleaned out the open cut and
pushed n crosscut tunnel in on the veih'
Twenty feet farther ahead he encount-
cred an ore shoot three feet in thick

values. On closer examination he
found native silver in the rock and

body shows three feet IN wldth, WIN
