Big Strike at Rico.

The Strike recently made by the
United Rice Mines Company in the
Shamrock claim of the Atlantic Cable
area Is claimed to be one of the largest
and most important disclosures of lead
zinc ore ever made in Colorado, saws
the correspondent of the Denver Re-
publican. With a few weeks work it
Is estimated that $4,000 tons of ore
have been disclosed without having
reached top, sides or bottom of the de-
post.
The massive character of the ore
body is shown by the fact that in cut
ting station for winze about twenty
tons OF ore was broken with one round
of shots. The deposit has been proved
Tor 2l0 .eet in length and about 20 feet
in width and 36 feet in depth. The
depth is shown by winZe 36 feet be-
low the roof Of the tunnel and 90 feet
below the tunnel level. The ore in the
bottom Of the winZe is rosin zinc and
copper pyrite, which improves with
the depth.
AT the tunnel level the ore is princi-
pally cube lead of high percentage. The
deposit Is replacement in dolomite
lime and 1t is not yet know whether it
Is horizontal or vertical 1t is supposed
to be part of the Atlantic Cable ore
body, but of higher grade than the
ore from the older workings. The COM
pany owns large acreage surrounding
the new strike and is developing the
property as rapidly as possible.
There is general rejoicing among the
people of Rico who foresee an active
season of mining and prospecting on
Expectation mountain as a result of
the discovery in the Atlantic Gable
area.

Important Mining Decision.

The law providing for the forfeiture
OF the Interest of co-worker in min
ing claim who fails TO pay his share of
expense OIL required assessment work
was upheld by Judge Lewis in the
United States Circuit Court April 1st
when he handed down a decision in ia
vor of the Ibex Mining Company of
Lcadville, in suits brought by il against
Helen Van Cise ct al. His decree en-
joins Mrs. Van Cise, Henry NJ. Jones
and Others from prosecuting any ac-
tions based upon the old Van Cise in
terests IN the San Jose claim in the
Leadville district. on the ground that
their title to three-eighths interest in
the claim has been forfeited by non.
payment Of assessments.
Other points important to mining
men Were decided. One was that an
advertisement in a newspaper for a
sufficient length of time notifying a de-
linquent co-owner that, unless he paid
his share of assessment work, his title
to an interest was lost was as legal
basis for forfeiture as an advertisement
of sale by marshal or sheriff under
the execution of judgment.
The decree further held that the is
suance of a patent by the United States
is not evidence of the ownership of
mining claim, but is merely a sertifl-
cate showing that there are no con-
fiicting claims: that all questions of
ownership must be determined in court
and not ly the Department of Interior
An appeal will be taken by the de-
PENDANTS to the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals Judge Lewis decision ends as

cerned. a litigation which has been

Some Colorado Nuggets.

The following. from the Daily Min.
ing Record, makes a great showing for
Cripple Creek, which is by nc means
the only mining camp in Colorado.
Colorado remains in the lead among
gold-producing states. During 1907 the
mines of Colorado yielded $2l l,070,217
In gold.
In the last ten years since 1897 Grip
pie Creek has never failed to produce
at least million dollars in gold every
month.
The silver output of Colorado in
1907 was S11,64S. 136-its copper pro-
duction 20,293 900 pounds--its lead out
put $S.062 ,965-zinc and mangnniferous
ores s4.5S7.1S4.

Three railroads enter the Cripple
Creek district. and two electric lines

When Billy came in from the corral
he had evolved the great idea" And
1t was all for the happiness of one
Monty" Levering. cnce known as
A. Montague Levering. but who had
recently taken up the glorious occu-
patton OF cow puncher. and who
but that is getting ahead of the story.
The girl lived in Boston, and her
father was a Judge and rich, which
is truly an unusual condition for most
judges. She was young, petite, and
her cheeks were as red as the au-
tumn apple. When she smiled her
teeth were as pearls, and when she
laughed the spr.ng-tim brook was
shamed in comparison. At least this
was the description that rested snugly
in the sentimental part of "Monty's"
mind; the picture that caused him to
hesitate many times before he en-
gagged in the usual 'puncher" pas
times.
Monty" was at Harvard when he
met her, and he had called at her
home several times. But when his
father took the receivers route the
Judge decided that any such thing as
an affair between the young people
must end. And so Monty" in the
depth Of his despair. went to the west.
1T will never be anyone bu. you.
Monty, dear" she told him. No mat
ter how long it may be, or how far
away you are, l will come to you
if you need me-"
But l neeL you now" protested
Monty" Il Iced you every min
ute: ! will need YOU forever"
Yes. dear" she replied, but we
must wait awhile and We will surely
find a way"
So Monty rode the whole day
long among the cattle, repairing count
less miles of fence, listening to the
walls of the homeless kyote. and
thinking, thinking. thinking. AS the
days rolled by look of despai. set
tied in his blue eyes, and the boys
at the ranch held innrmerable coun-
ellis of war to determine ways and
means of rendering assistance. They
knew his story. 1t was told by let
ter which one of the men had acci-
ueutdlls opcueu. Auu tnciS iS HOlu-
ing like the mute sympathy OF the
puncher. 1t is equal to any emer-
gency; it is from the heart of nature.
So when Billy McDermott con-
ceived the idea there was an imme-
diate conference of the clans.
Monty" was out at the other end of
the ranch, SO the secret was safe.
Its as plain as the nose on your
face" declared Billy. vehemently, as

TERRIBLE HARDsHlPs ENDURED
BY sAiLoRs sHiPWREcKEp IN
THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
TWO OF SURVIVORS SUccUMB
Craft Containing Six Unfortunate
Men Picked UP by British Vessel
After They Had Undergone
Intense Suffering.

New York--A tale of the sea, rival
ing In horror and hardship any trag-
'sdy Of the deep ever told. was brought
hero the other day by William Kuhl-
mann, seaman. who was passenger
on the steamer Voltaire from South
American ports.
Kuhlmann is one of six survivors Of
the crew of the American ship Tillie
e. Starbuck, which was abandoned
last August more than thousand
miles of the Pacific coast of South
America. He and his companions
were rescued by British ship after
drifting about on the ocean for eight
weeks In an open boat.
Two of the six men who had lived
so long in the little craft died after
succor had come to them, and Kuhl-
mann spent many weeks in hospital
at Valparaiso recovering from the ef-
fects of his terrible experience.
No word ever has been received
from another boat which put off from
the Starbuck when she was aban-
doned, and it is believed that its oc-
cupants died of starvation, thirst and
exposure after weeks of vain waiting
and hope that help might come to
them.
II was when she struck out into the
Pacific and was well on her way
across the thousands of miles of sea
which separated her from her destina-
ton that the Starbuck ran into the
storm which ended her career and
brought intense suffering to all and
death to many of her crew. The
storm broke in the latter part OF July
and on the last day of that month her
masts were twisted out by the gale
and she was left to wallow. water
logged and helpless, in the tumbling
seas.
For l6 days the men stuck to the
doomed craft, but at last. when it

and the great amount of low grade ore
