RICH STRIKE
MADE IN LITTLE MAUDE

All Cortez is excited over the gold
trike on Ute Mountain this week by
j. w. Walker, manager of the Ute
Mining Gold Mining Co.
Some 20 years ago three claims
we're taken up on Ute Mountain and
Prospective work was done on the
surface. Nothing was found at that
lime and the claims remained idle all
lhese years.
Last fall Mr.. Walker again took
Up the work on those claims and
tarted the sinking of shaft below
he old workings. When he had reach
I'd point distance of 70 feet be-
ow the old workings he cut into a
gein of quartz II inches in width at
he top and "a inches wide at the bot
ON. The tunnel was run in at right
ngles to the vein which extends the
'ntire length of the three claims.
Samuel Burke of Cortez is presi-
lent of this mining company and all
he stock of the company is owned
" Montezuma county people. This
S. one of the reasons why there is
uch excitement at Cortez over this
discovery.
Samples are now being assayed
nd it is estimated that it runs 81 900
o the ton of ore. A sample of this
aluable ore is now on exhibition ut
he Exchange. Mr.. Walker brought
he samples over from the mine last
light and is all enthusiastic over the
roposition.
This mining property is known as
he Little Maude and has been wait
ng these 20 years for someone to
AXE hold of the proposition and go
own in the earth after the ore. The
discoveries made 20 years ago were
surface nature. Those develop
ng the mine lost courage, just as
lany others have done, and no furth-
work was done until last fall.
The finding of ore in Ute Noun
ain is another instance where man
uit development work otter times
rithin a few feet of where lies the
recious ores. 1t means that all thru
his country there are opportunities
or opening up mines. 1t is largely
matter of courage and capital. The
urface evidences of precious metals
re often deceptive and this causes
iany to give up just when they
hould go ahead. Mr.. Walker has
lways had faith in this mine and
fter mining in many other sections
f the west came back to the Little
Iaude mine on Ute Mountain below
'ortez to convince himself and others
hat there is gold in that mountain
This discovery will be big thing
or Montezuma county and the own.
-srs are to be congratulated on hav,
ng the courage to go after what is
the mountain for those who perse~
ere. This discovery along with the
Doyle discovery in the La Platas will
rive new impetus to the mining bust
ness in this Southwest country.
