FABULOUSLY RICH ORE
STRIKE IN VINDICATOR APPEARS
IN VIRGIN GROUND.
Mining Men Declare Vein the Great
est Ever Found in the Cripple
Creek District.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Creek, Colo. —A gold discov
ery said to surpass anything ever
known in Colorado has been made
within the last few days in the Vindi
cator mine at Cripple Creek. The far
famed “jewelry box” opened in the
Cresson mine a year ago is said to
pale into insignificance beside this
new find. A completely new vein sys
tem has been tapped that is in virgin
territory, and that may extend clear
to the surface.
Following the strike in the six
teenth level, developments to open
the new vein were started in the
fourteenth with a view to determining
its possible extent. In the meantime
the drift at the original discovery
depth was being prosecuted, with the
result that recently while the new
work at the fourteenth was bearing
fruit the drift at the lower level was
proving a new shoot a length of 400
feet and a width of from thirty to for
ty feet. Practically the entire vein
filling is high grade ore.
Cripple Creek scarcely needed this
fresh stimulus to deep mining. The
story of the Vindicator is being re
flected in kind by all the new work
being prospected in its great mines at
depth. Everywhere the story is one
of new ore bodies, increased values,
reserves that guarantee heavy pro
duction for many years above the
level of the Roosevelt drainage tun
nel. The “jewelry shop” of the
Cresson was extraordinary in the con
centration of values In its ores, but
the Vindicator strike, in quantity and
total worth, bids fair to far exceed it
both in ultimate extraction and im
portance to the mining industry of
the camp.
Thirty Saved in Hospital Fire.
Pueblo. —Fire gutted a portion of
the west wing of St. Mary's hospital,
endangering the lives of thirty pa
tients in that end of the structure and
for half an hour threatened the des
truction of the entire building. Due
to the heroism of the sisters, nurses
and firemen not a life was lost and
no serious injuries reported. The
fire originated from unknown sources
in the basement near the main en
trance to the west wing and had
eaten its way through the first floor
and into the partitions of the wooden
walls before It was discovered.
When the fire department arrived
flames were bursting from the doors
and windows and Chief Christie
turned in second and general alarms.
Before the arrival of the firemen, the
sisters and nurses of the hospital
staff had removed the more critically
ill patients from their rooms and to
more remote sections of the hospital.
Without confusion and excitement,
but with extreme rapidity, the sisters
and nurses handled some twenty pa
tients, and then turned the rescue
work over to the firemen.
Member of First Legislature Dead.
Fort Collins. —Nathaniel C. Alford,
one of Larimer county's oldest pio
neers, died at his home in this city of
Bright's disease. He was SI years
old and had lived in this county since
1867, although he had been in busi
ness in Colorado for several years
previous to that time. Mr. Alford was
a member of the first Colorado Legis
lature in 1877.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MOST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH
Few people realize to what extent theii
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
rious illness, makes a chemical analysia
of the patient’s urine. He knows that un
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected of
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is
necessary to pay more attention to tht
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy is
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
The mild and healing influence of thif
preparation, in most cases, is soon real*
ized, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys iequire attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar
macy. It is sold by every druggist in bot
tles of two sizes—50c and $1.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure aad
mention this paper.—Adv.
