THE CULPUr OBSERVER. FIND HIGH GRADE ORE MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD SEEN IN RICH STRIKE. Chamber of Sylvanite Ore Found In Working of Cresson Group of Mines at Cripple Creek.

Cripple Creek. —One of the richest ore strikes in the annals of the Cripple Creek district is reported from the twelfth level in the main workings of the Cresson group, owned by the Cres son Consolidated Gold Mining & Mill ing Company, a used corporation, with chief offices at Chicago.
