Cripple Creek-The spirit of gold
holds the district in its grip, following
strike at the Portland mine of the
richest vein of ore found in the last
twenty-five years. Nothing since the
days of Stratton's "jewelry shop" In

vug" of 1917 can even approach it, ex-
perienced miners say. The "Cresson
vug" was rich find, but the new
strike is Of vastly more Importance
since it is real vein. The Portland
strike is also significant in that it was
made at a 2,600-foot level, a new rec
ord for mining in the state, and seems
to indicate that deep level mining in
, the Cripple Greek district has future
that even dreams might underestimate
