Rich Ore Encountered in East Tunnel of Gold Hill Property Three Hundred Feet Below the Surface
ORE WILL BE SHIPPED
 BY EXPRESS TO DENVER
Assays of the High Grade Ore from the Nero Strike Runs from S792 to S2,000

A rich gold strike at Gepth suffi- cient to prove that Sylyanite, N. M., is something more than a surface mining proposition. is reported in a letter to George E. Buxton from E. E, eKlsey. manager of the BuHJUn-Smith interests at that Dlsce.
 The reported strike occurred upon October 3l. but has been kept quiet up to the present time by the man agement of the Gold Hill property.
 Ore has been encountered in the east tunnel, more than 800 feet below the surface level, while rich ore was also encountered in the winze about 100 feet from the surface. In each instance the working is in full face of pay rock Mir. Kelsey says:
 The strike in the east tunnel was made near the Ridgewood dyke and will from indications, be enc of the largest ore bodies in this territory. The fact that this ore was found at 300 feet from the surface goes to prove that this is a deep mining dis trict. All that is needed is systematic work and perseverance.
 T have seen assays of the high grade ore from the new strike which runs all the way from $792 to s2,000, and yesterday saw samples from the vein banned which I am confident would run at least s1O,OOO to the ton. The vein is the full size of the drift and ore valued at several thousand dollars is already sacked for ship ment by express to Cripple Creek. Colo. The shipment will take place about Thursday. I do Ejot know whether they will ship regularly or not
 "A working shaft will be sunk in the near future since the tunnel has proved the property with depth. It is proposed to carry this working down 800 feet. This will require hoisting machinery and a compressor.
 "A. E. and L. G Carleton, of Cripple Greek, Colo, are among the packers of the property, while I. J. Russell is the local manager. L. C. Carlton was wired immediately after the strike was made and came at once to Sylvanite, leaving yesterday, Sunday, very much elated over the showing. Every man in Sylyanite is eIated, for that matter, as every round of shots in the tunnel seems to open up some, thing richer.
 'C. H. Morse, general manager and president of the Eureka Sylvanite Mining company, is greatly eIated over the find as the Ridgewood prop erty adjoins and shows the same surface indications as those existing upo nthe Hardscrabble claim of the Gold Hill where the strike was made Indications are good for an early strike upon his property. There are already large number of monied men in the local field looking over showings on various properties and things begin to look better for Syl vanite than ever before. The strike on the Bircheld property is holding out and showing better values"
 Neweomb and Hayden and Colone Burbridge and Mr Benedict, Colorado mining men, are expected to arrive ir the camp soon, Mir Kelsey states, ana renewed activity is expected by tho middle of December all over the camp.
 The Gold Hill company has com menced building bins near their dunn and will ship regularly as soon as tn, bins have been completed. Late, they intend erecting a mill on tn, property.
 Since the big strike announced il his letter has become known MT Kelsey states, there is a good dea of scrambling around to locate va cant ground while numerous small deals are being pulled of.
