ANOTHER RICH STRIKE.
ORE FOUND WITHIN ONE FOOT
OF aURFAcE At PLAToRo.
Grass Roots Find on 1876" Claim
Runs $9e.s0 Per Ton In Gold
and silver Ore.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Platoro. Colo.-All Of the camps in
the new Platoro-G Gilmore-S e-StunnerJas
per mining district are excited over
the "grass.root" strike made Sunday,
June LIST. on the 1876" claim of Cole,
Hook & Co., not far from the property
Of the August Mining Company. which
latter was located late last fall by
George Gilmore and which brought
this district into world-wire notice and
Is attracting miners from all camps in
the United States and British Colum.
bia. The first assay( made June 4th)
of ore taken from the "1876" claim
within one foot of the surface re-
turned 4.14 ounces of gold and 1916
ounces of silver with total value Of
$3.50.
One finds scattered all over the dis
trict scores of pioneer miners and
prospectors of Colorado. who in re
cent years have been working in the
mining districts of Utah. Arizonai Ne
vada, Montana, British Columbia and
Alaska, but who have returned to Col
orado by reason of the gold strikes in
the Platoro district.
The town of Platoro is growing rap
idly. 1t 10 located in Conejos county,
Colo, on the south bank of the Cone
jos river, has q fine site with an
abundance of pure water. A census
taken May 31st shows population of
400. as compared with five or six peo-
pie living there last winter. On that
date thirty-six cabins and sixty-seven
tents were counted with many new
buildings and tents going up. There
Is steady stream Of people coming
into the district and now that the
snow has disappeared, indications
point to great influx. The gold
field is from forty to fifty miles from
a railroad. but there are automobile
and stage lines from numerous San
Luis Valley railroad towns and good
accommodations can be obtained at
all the camps.
At the present time Platoro is the
only camp having postoffice, but the
Postoffice Department has arranged
to establish offices at Sumner and
Jasper and they will be opened by the
first of July. 1t so happens that the
telephone company has a trunk line
through the district and shortly the
camps will be within telephone COM
munication with the outside world.
F. A. Wadleigh and George L. Beam
of the passenger department Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, re-
turned to Denver after a four days
tour of the new Platoro-G -Gilmore-Stun

Colorado. The snow on the mountains
is all gone except in some deep
sulches on the north side In the high
est attitudes. and prospectors. who
have been waiting for the snow to
disappear. are now covering the hills
equipped for a seasons work.

ern Governors came to an end here.
The declaration of principles. which

Midland Railroad VS.. Mrs.
Fuller and Mrs. Henderson.

This action was brought on for trial
at special term of the district court at
jamestown on motion of the railroad.
The action was brought to condemn a
right of way through nine quarter Sec
tions of land belonging to the two ladies.
The questions we're all submitted to the
jury after argument and the verdict rem
dered was for eleven thousand, one hun
dred and twenty five dollars, and costs
with the court granting some twenty
over and under way passages for horses,
cattle and machinery used in general
farm operations.
This is said to be the largest judgment
entered in North Dakota in condemna-
tion right Of way cases in the case Of
farm land. The railroad claims that the
passage ways will entail a cost Of 5000
to $1,000 and many Of the passage ways
being so long as to require bridges and
SO high that wagons loaded with fodder
and grain may pass underneath.
Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Henderson but
recently inherited the land from the es.
tate Of the late B. w. Fuller. Their
friends are much elated over their vic
tory both financially and from tho view
point Of the acoomodations, to b kept ~
by tho railroad for the benefit Of th.
farm.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1913-06-13

Three hundred and seventy union
veterans and five confeds have applied
for transportation to the Gettysburg
battle field for the celebration there the
first four days of July. The appropria-
tion made by the state of sl5, 900 will not
pay the cost of transportation in full so
the committee in charge have made q
ruling that all veterans who participated
in that battle shall have their full ex.
penses paid, while the:rest of those go
ing will be paid pro rata as far as the
money will go. All veterans, however,
will have to produce certificate from a
home physician showing that they are
physically able to stand the trip. Per-
sonally, we think that the above ar
rangements as we'll as other exigencies
will prevent large proportion of those
who have sent in their names from going.
We estimate that less than so per cent
will appear at Fargo to start. The num-
ber of names must approximate the
whole number of civil war veterans in
the state.
