Rumors Of a fabulously rich strike in
the Crystal mine at Angels have been
rife all the week. According to the
story which reached San Andreas an en-
tirely new shoot of ore had been struck
in this mine at the 300 foot level, the
vein having been cut to width of
twelve feet, eight feet of which was
exceedingly rich in free gold, one piece
of 900 pounds being taken out that was
over half gold. The same story was to
the effect that 5000, 600 had been taken
out in four days.
This mine has recently been acquired
by James V. Coleman and adjoins the
Angels and Lightner on the south and is
now being worked as portion OF the
Angels quartz mine. 1t is one of the old
mines of Angels and in the early days
yielded some exceedingly rich ore. On
calling up Mr. Fullen the superintendent
of the mine by phone Thursday he in
forms us that the story of the strike is
untrue. That no new strike has been
made in the mine and though the de-
velopments which have been going on
for three or four months are looking
favorable, the ore taken out is of about
the same quality as has been the yield
right along. The shoot was struck
about four months ago.
In the San Francisco Chronical of the
oath we see that James V. Coleman in
an interview makes the same statement
He says that the profits OF the mine are
about the same for the past month as
they have been and will not exceed
$4,000. The extent of this shoot has
not yet been determined and Mr. Mullen
states that while it may yield 5000. 600 it
has not yet done so, and they have no
separate record of its product. Prs
