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

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Greek, Colo.-After a quest
Of n quarter of century, prospectors
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 a
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
1,200 feet in the Cresson mines.
Flaring out over the surface OF the
Ella w claim like a gigantic cap
sheaf. the ore body was found at
grass roots. Shipments sent to To-
cal sampler have brought returns OF
500 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 the 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 a 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.

Facts Concerning the Proposed
:. Bond Issue for Good Roads,.

Secretary A. ]. Holworthy of the
Folk County Good Roads Association
contributes the following inforr,a-
ton relative to the proposed bond
issue:
At the last meeting OF the county
commissioners held on Monday, Sept.
6, they agreed on the mileage and
system of roads to be built under a
proposed bond issue Cor something
like a million dollars. What prevent
&c more unanimous decision on the
part of the commissioners was the
question of increasing the mileage as
agreed upon by them at previous
meeting. The Polk County Good
Roads Association, as well as sever
al Of the commissioners, realized the
necessity of this extra mileage, be-
cause otherwise there would be
gap between the hard-surfaced road
from Frostproof south to the DeSoto
county line and as DeSot0 county
has bonded already for the roads
which include building to Polk coun-
~ line it was thought that this ex-
tension ought to be made. The same
reasons were assigned for the extern
sion of the line from Socrum to the
PsscO county line and from Mulber-
ry to the Hillsboro line. This in
sod y,;1 Gp1Irav
commissioners from 90 to about 2to
miles
A bond election is not to be called
at this time but the commissioners
have asked for petition signed by
40 per cent of the legal voters of the
county, asking that a bond election
be called. though the law does not
require such a petition in a county
wide proposition. In the meantime
the taxpayers are asked to waive the
question of the amount necessary for
the construction of the system out
lined and agreed upon and only to
express their wishes along the line
OF the petition. The question Of
the amount necessary for the con-
structiOn of the roads outlined can
only properly be determined after
an engineering survey has been
made and the engineers plans AMI
specifications submitted for contrac-
tors bids. At that time bids for sew
oral different types of road construc-
ton will be asked for and only af-
ter the commissioners shall have re-

roads. We are gradually being sur
rounded by vast network of hard
surfaced roads seeking connection
through our county with similar
roads in other counties to the north,
south, east and west of us and al
ready some are threatening to go
around us. We know what Chinese
wall is and wo do not want one
around Polk county.
Petitions were circulated Thurs
day at the big roads meeting at
Lakeland, at which time there were
over 1000 people present and copies
will gladly be sent to any one who
will join in the effort to secure sig
natures in his particular district.

for an election be held.
1T is believed by the commission
ers and others who have been work
ing on this matter that not mora
than one million or twelve hundred
thousand dollars will be required to
Guild the proposed system of roads
and the interest and sinking fund
can both be more than taken care of
without the slightest increase either
OF assessment or millage. 1t simply
means that the money now being
used for the construction and repair
OF our present unsatisfactory and
expensive roads can be used to nav
for system of hard-surfaced and
more permanent highways.
The signature asked for in the Pc
tition is not necessarily a vote for
the bond issue. This vote must be
cast later, but it is an expression to
the commissioners of the will of the
taxpayers to vote or not to vote
bonds for the construction of the
roads outlined
Some objection may possibly be
ur?ed in certain directions on ac-
count of the failure of the plan pro-
posed to provide for lateral and 9TH

at reception in honor of her aunt,

The rooms were prettily decorated
in pink and white, pink roses being
used in profusion, while the lovely
pink coral vine was effectively used
over arches. doorways and windows.
Little Miss Mary Warren Hudson,
daughter Of the honoree, in q dainty
white dress with pink ribbons, re-

was handsome in a lovely gown of
pink lace wolfe.
After the guests had all arrived,
cards were passed on which were
written questions. the answers to
which were authorizations of the

fun and amusement, and all were of
the opinion that each list would be
the same, as all were prone to give
and seek information. but when the
judges completed their work it was
found that there was but one correct
set of answers, and the first prize, q
lovely fern, was presented Mrs. H

Mrs. Hudson, who is a singer of

several vocal numbers, which were
most appreciatively received. Her
splendid voice has been heard with
pleasure wherever she has visited
and it was rare treat indeed for
Mrs. Wilson's guests to hear her on
this occasion.
