holds the district in Its grip, following

twenty-five years. Nothing since the
days Of Stratton's "jewelry shop" in

vug" of 1917 can even approach II, ex-
perienced miners say. The "Cresson
vug" was rich find. but the new
strike Is Of vastly more importance
since it Is a real vein. The Portland
strike is also significant In that 1t was
made at a 2,eOO-foot level, new rec

the Cripple Creek district has future
that even dreams might underestimate.
