HUMORED STRIKE
ON MILLIONAIRE
Rumor Prevalent That Rich Strike
Has Been ¥lade on min
eral Creek
A rumor has been current on
Ihe streets to the effect that the
ore body had been struck on the
Millionaire claim on Mineral
creek, the property bonded by the
Mineral Greek Mining Company
last fall.
A force of men have been busy
nearly all winter cross-cutting
the formation to teach the ore
body found on the surface at a
lower level.
The rumor connects the rich
strike with the workmen, having
cut into the lead under the pay
shoot. No verification of the ru
mor can be made, as the whole
affair appears shrouded in mys
tery.
