RICH STRIkEAT BOULDER
MAKES MRS. CARRIE J. TODD OF
CHICAGO WEALTHY
Vein Of $4,000 Gold Ore Found in Sup.

by Uncle.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Boulder, Colo.-When Henry N.
Coffee. one of the old-time prospectors
Of Boulder county, died here three
years ago without a cent to his name
his only surviving relative, a niece,
Mrs. Carrie J. Todd Of Chicago, had
no reason to believe that his life
would ever have any effect upon her
fortunes.
Upon his death she learned for the
first time that he had never married.
and that, as his nearest relative, she
had fallen heir to the half-interest he
had held in the Snowbound mine at
Sunshine, but the mine had not pro-
duced pound of ore in years.
Now Mrs. Todd is halloween in
the richest gold discovery that has
been made in Boulder county in more
than a decade.
Mrs. Todd had left the management
of the property to her uncle's old as
sociate, Judge Enoch p Nancy of
this city, who, al spite of misfortune
that had come upon him, had refused
to part with his share in the prop
erty. Several months ago he gave a
lease to J. G. Clark, S. A. Greenwood
and Fred Guhse of this city.
By persistent development work
and exploration the men leasing the
property rediscovered the rich vein
that had made the mine famous in the
early days, and had then been lost
Samples of the ore taken from the
mine have assayed 10000 to the ton
