Find Rich Ore at Great Depth.

Cripple Creek-What is regarded as
the most significant discovery of the
new year in the Cripple Creek district
is that at the Portland mine, where
a vein of ore twenty-five feet wide,
averaging $50 a ton, has been encoun-
tered. The finding of this large body
of ore alta depth of 1000 feet, say min
ing men, demonstrates that there is
a second stratum OF ore in the district

Bridgeport can by this means break all records for sales of war stavings stamps in a given time and if all put their shoulder to the wheel the city can show 100 per cent. of her population as war savings stamps purchasers.
 All locomotives and steamboat whistles should be blown promptly at 10 o'clock on March IS.
