Rich Strike at Paradise.

! A rich strike was recently made on
 the Fink property, which is located on Silver Creek, between Paradise
 and Portal and is owned by Albert Fink and Shaw Bros.
 1 In a trench several feet in depth
 and about twenty feet long there is q
 promising vein from four to eleven inches in width, the ore being richest
 where the vein is narrowest. It is 1 not yet known what is the value of
 this ore, but it will be known soon, as samples have been sent away for as say. Ore aSsayiug SO0 ounces in sil-
 yer (about $40 in silver alone) has been taken out on this property.
 The ore from the new strike is ad- mittedly rich, but how it will com pare with the sOO-oz. ore is not yet known.
 The principal values on this group are silver, though most of the ore carries some copper also. The gan que in which the ore is found is quartz.
 At the Willie Rose the ore is look ing good in both shafts. In shaft No. there is from l2 to IS inches of copper glance ore, while the vein system almost covers the shaft at its present depth of about eight feet.
 Shaft No. l, which is down over 20 feet, has good showngs, but the ore here is not so rich as that in the other shaft
 On exhibition at the store of Pow CTS & McCOrd at POrta' there were several beautiful specimens from the Willie R )Se, some of them contain ing native. copper in such quantities as to attract more than ordinary at tention.
 Oae remarkable feature in connec- tion with this property from the finding there of the 3l4 pound native copper nugget, and the un- usually rich surface showing5- is the fact that of the 75 feet (approxi- mltely) of work done on the prop erty in several different places, al most every foot of it has been in ground or ore, and high grade ore is the result in several openings.
 It is reported that M. D. Taylor, of Iago, Texas, president of the com pany, who is conducting campaign in that state for the sale of Willie Rose stock, is meeting with success, and that continuance of operations for an indefinite time is expected.

It will not be very long until all these "heart pains; will disappear. Take Kodal now and until you know you are right again.
