Show AFTER 3ILXY YEARS Hays Cook Will Xo Longer Throw Gold Over the Bump For many years Hays Cook has been mining in the Star district Beaver county He has seen his ups and downs with more downs than ups and he is known and respected throughout the county for his integrity and good nature and although he has put in good work and striven hard to keep even with the world his accounts have often been in the red and at the age of 73 with times getting harder and harder and panicky days before him the squaring of his ledger would have been a difficult thing for him to accomplish had it not been for a fortunate discovery that was made a short time ago in consequence of which the old gentleman will son be on Easy street where he should have been many years ago if he had been given his just dues For twenty years at intervals Mr Cook has been working n mine in Star district the product of which was sil I ver lead ores and this existed only in stringers or pockets so that the returns I re-turns from his shipments were not much greater than the expenses incurred I curred in the development of his mine In sinking on this small stringer of I ore Mr Wood encountered a body of I liver iron ore ranging from eighteen I inches to two feet in width This ore I he considered a worthless and for I years past he has been throwing it over the dump and all the time he was bewailing be-wailing the fact that it was not a good body of galena instead of worth i less stuff that was useless and only in I un wAs w-As i happened however he has been making a storehouse of his dump and has also been opening fp a bonanza mine as it has been discovered of late that this liver iron ore is gold bearing that it carries 100 in the yellow metal to the ton and now 11 Wood is the happiest man in the south and already has nearly a carload of this high grade ore ready for shipment As soon as returns are received from this consignment Mr Wood will again draw on his dump for another lot and as there is a large amount of this ore already mined and on the surface he will have a goodly sum to his credit in the bank before he is obliged to resume re-sume work in the mine which with further development will bring him in a regular and steady income There are many people in Milford and vicinity who will be rejoiced to i hear of Mr Woods good fortune and he can truthfully say that I is a long I road that never has any turn I Star district once famous for its I I production of the precious metals presents pre-sents a field for investments that should not be overlooked by capitalists and investors I is the home of many oncenoted surface producers and in this respect it is very similar In its general characteristics to the country around Silver City Tmtic and there is no doubt but that in the near future many paying mines will be opened there The old town of Star was once a bustling active camp but like many other oldtime mining centres in the west it has sunk to decay and desertion deser-tion and now there is scarcely a inhabitant habitant left there Its mineral resources re-sources which are rich have been but barely prospected in fact and with I Lthe increased interest so noticeable in mining of late there is every reason to believe that the district will soon I awaken from its long sleep and once again enrich the world with its wealth I of hidden treasure |
