At postponed meeting OF the
Merchants and Miners National
bank of Idano Springs held last
Monday evening, February Is,
it was voted to merge the business
OF the institution with the First
National bank. The comptroller of

action of the meeting, and in
structions from him are being
awaited. The action will in no way
affect the depositors of either
institution, as both banks are in a
sound financial condition. 1t has
been the plan of Geo. E. McClel.

Rich Gold Strike Comes as Surprise
to Leasers in the Gem Mine

What is perhaps the richest
strike of gold ore ever made in
the Idaho Springs district has
been found by the Little Four
Leasing company in the Gem mine,
10Th level east.
There is a one-foot streak of
sylvanite ore which runs 1929
ounce in gold and 80. 10 ounces in
silver The value of this ore is
$2OS5 per ton, or over 81 per
pound. Alongside this exception
ally rich streak is rich body from
FIVE to ten feet wide which assays
PA ounces in gold and 290 ounces
in silver. This is valued at $55
per ton, and the supply of it is i'm
mense.
The ore was struck last Thurs
day, February IA, Valentine Day.
but the lucky leasers did not wish
to say anything until they could
drift along further and determine
whether it was just a small pocket
or a genuine vein. They have
drifted along a considerable dis
lance and have proved the con-
tinuity of the vein. All indica-
tons are that the vein will widen
as further progress is made.
This rich body was struck en-
tirely unexpectedly, as the OBJ
jective point of the leasers was
the well-known and proven Mazda
vein, which is nearly 400 feet fur
Their. The leasers had been putting
up their cash for pay roll and ex-
penses for the last Is months and
to do SO for another year
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1918-02-22

or more, when they would reach
the Mazda, and be reimbursed for
their investment and rewarded for
their perseverance.
Three years ago Won Tilborg of
Cripple Creek was mining in a
lower level of the Gem and is said
to have taken out $4,000 in 80
days, then lost the ore chute en-
tirely. 1t is now believed the rich
body Just struck in the 18th level
is continuation of that rich vein,
but it runs many times richer than
Won Tilborg's best.
1t looks like the strike will be
good for from $500 to 5000 daily
for long period of time.
The fortunate leasers are DR..
Alan B. Fraser, w. E. Renshaw,
Mrs. Frieda Renshaw and Swan
Smith. Mr.. Smith is mine man
dSeT.
Doctor Fraser has been gamely
putting his spare change into
leases for number of years an d
this is the first big strike he has
made, and, quite naturally, he is
feeling jubilant, for he sees where
bis expended cash will now re
turn to him an hundred fold, and
he can buy new automobiles to his
hearts content. He has three
eighths interest in the lease. Or
iginally he held a hve-eighths in
terest but disposed of quarter to
Mr.. Smith.
Mining in the Idaho Springs
district continues to look up and
more good strikes are to be ex.
pected.
