.ewhile if looks now as if President Wilson would have an easy victory III 1916, the republicans are taking much more interest in the approaching cam paign than I thought they would. said R. F. Alsworth of New York.

RICH CRIPPLE HILL ORE
DISTRICT THOUGHT BARREN is
HIGHLY MINERALizED.
Discovery in Molly kathIee on Tender
foot Hill Is Reported to Be Best
Made In Years.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Cripple Creek, Colo.-After a quest
Of a quarter of a century, prospectors
have tapped the locks of the treasure
valuts of Tenderfoot hill, which is the
scene of two of the most important
gold strikes ever made in this dis
trict. A find is now reported in the
Molly Kathleen. and two new mines
have been added to the list Of pro-
ducers that are expected to rival the
famous properties of the Bull Hill
section.
Following the announcement that q
massive ore body had been opened in
the gold quarry" the name given to
the johnson Mack lease on the Ella
W. property. the news flashed over
the district OF the discovery of ore
running several dollars pound in the
Molly Kathleen.
Both of these properties are stu
ated on Tenderfoot hill, and the same
mineral vein is believed to cut both
claims. Mining men assert that these
discoveries are of more significance
than the recent rich strike made at
1900 feet in the Cresson mines.
Flaring out over the surface Of the
Ella w. claim like gigantic cap
sheaf, the ore body was found at
grass roots. Shipments sent to To-
cal sampler have brought returns of
$40 gold ton.
The "gold quarry" is now about the
size Of an ordinary living room, and
the ore is taken out in large blocks.
The extent Of tho ore shoot in the
Ella w. claim has not been deter
mined.
Samples taken at the Ella W. indi-
cate that the ore shoot will cover at
least an acre Of ground. The ore is
being mined in the same manner that
rock for building purposes is taken
from a stone quarry.
The vein of high grade ore discov-
cred in the Molly Kathleen is twenty
eight inches wide, and the rock con-
tains free gold and sylvanite. This
ore shoot was encountered at depth
of 700 feet.
Tenderfoot hill was formerly regard
ed as out of the mineral belt and con-
demned as barren territory. Since the
new strikes were made on this hill
prospectors have been flocking there
in an attempt to trace the veins of
the Molly Kathleen and the Ella W.
