Col. w. M. Moore brought down some
quartz from one of his properties near
the Alice that shows up in great shape.
1t is free milling proposition and as
says taken from the twenty-five inch
streak shows values of 4.36 ounces in
gold and 4 ounces in silver per ton. In
addition to this rich streak there is at
least two and one half feet OF ore that
has never run less than $40 per ton.
There is no question but what this stur-
dy old veteran in mining in this county
has rich proposition. His experience,
covering a period OF over forty years in
this mining business thoroughly quail
fies him to know good ore when he sees
it, and when to this is added the further
assays of the leading assayers of the city
and actual mill returns one can feel as
sured that it is perfectly reliable. The
Colonel has handled some Of the largest
and richest producing mines of Clear
Creek county during his mining life and
his judgment Of properties has been Of
the very best. This last opening up Of
. very rich vein is only another evidence
Of his mining ability and good judgment.
