Big Ore Strike Made at Ohio city
The Pitkin Miner.


Lou and George earns of Ohio City
old time prospectors, have recently
opened up one of the best LOOKING
bodies of ore uncovered in that dis.
trict in many years.
Lou earns, in talking with your re.
porter one evening this week, told us
of the discovery of this vein, and the
tale reads like romance.
Seventeen years ago the boys, then
mere youths, discovered on the hill
sides of Mcintyre gulch some remark
ably rich silver float. This float did
not appear to come from the Cortland
vein, rich prospect then opened in
the gulch, and the young men began
looking for the origin of the float.
Every summer the search has been
resumed, with no reward. They, in the
meantime, had driven tunnel, which
is now in some 700 feet, to cut the
vein of the Cortland mine at depth.
The past year this vein was cut, but
at a place where it was barren and
contained no ore shoot Of any value.
The boys were quite discouraged
and had about decided that the vein
for which they had been looking for
so many years, was but a phantom
and did not exist.
Some weeks ago, more from habit,
they wandered again up the hillside
and began indifferently trenching
about. One spot looked different and
they went down few feet, when in
dications became good for an ore vein.
A little more sinking and they came
upon good vein of ore. Tunneling
in some twenty feet they have opened
up proven fissure vein about five
feet in width, carrying an ore shoot
of some eighteen inches to two feet,
that runs better than 100 ounces in
silver.
Mr.. earns says that nov the tunnel,
run to to cut the Cortland vein comes
into it's own, for by driving little
further they will cut the ,ein of this
! ew discovery at dep h of over 700
lce'. The new vein does not parallel
that of tie Cortland. out runs at al
most right angles to it, and from all
indications is in place and locks like
winner.
Thus after nearly two decades of
patient prospecting have these gen.
tlemen come into their own. Both are
still in life's prime and can enjoy
fully the reward their many friends
hope they will reap from this strike.
The mine is called the High Explo-
sive and adjoins the Cortland on the
south and east.

Indian Women Win Strike

Protesting against twelve hours
labor day for seven days weeh
with wages averaging less than 20c a
day, the women workers of the New
China Textile Mills in Bombay, India,
owned and exploited by British capi-
talists, have organized and won re-
markable labor victory. The women
had previously appealed to the British
factory Inspector to remedy the hor-
rible conditions under which they
worked, but although their long
hours of labor were in direct viola
tion of the the eleven-hour law and
they received no rest on Sunday or
any other day. the factory inspector
refused to intervene.
The women thereupon formed the
first union for women workers in In
dia, and went out on strike. They
picketed the mill, despite the assaults
of the police, until every man en-
ployed also walked out with them.
The mill had to close down complete
ly, and the profit grsbbers soon came
to terms with the women's union

A YOUNG sKEPTIC

A clergyman was in the habit of
going up to his little girls bedside
each, evening and telling her story
before she went to sleep.
One evening he told her such a
thrilling tale that the child, sitting
up in bed, looked very straight at her
father and asked:
Daddy, is that true story, or are
you preaching?"-Pearson's Weekly,
Uondon.)

If you meet pilgrim brother who's

with slightly downward motion every

tie rising movement gives a strong
unwonted twist to the muscles of the

if the pressure slowly weakens and he
