Show GOLD CROWN Why some of the most famous mining districts have experienced the ebb and flow of activity and lethargy periods of time can perhaps be explained ex-plained by attributing these paroxisms parox-isms to the different opinions associated associa-ted within the mining fraternity. Where one man meets absolute fail-jre, fail-jre, either from faulty judgment, lack of energy or perhaps both, another ano-ther one sees before him a future of most brilliant success. It is the last achiever who enters the struggle with a resolve to accomplish and win. Pie :s prepared to grapple with the difficulties diffi-culties which are sure to beset him while endeavoring to explore the hid len treasures stored away in natures vaults. Within a memory of. a life time, those familiar with the development of the mining industres of the West can recall to mind the periods of inertia iner-tia that have enshrouded the most active and lucrative mining camps of today. It is really astonishing to observe the forces exerted in the extraction ex-traction of the valuable metals in this day and age of progress. Beaver county once posing at the zenith of metal production, relapsed into an epoch of temporary sommolence but the day dawn of renascence can be seen fringing her metalic horizon and through the calories of energy being applied, she will yet evolve into the sunshine of remunerative activity. For the past four years the Gold Crown has been the cynosure of the Star mining district and at this writing, writ-ing, promises to be a nucleous around which the ambitious prospector is sure to gravitate along this mineral zone.

T'ae power of the Gold Crown consists con-sists ot two r.o-horse power and oil learning engines which have given ;lie ae-i of satisfaction, both for economy ec-onomy and efficiency. At present the company is driving driv-ing a tunnel to the northwest to intersect in-tersect the quartzite contact which is distant about three-hundred feet from the ore chute, which has been followed down from the surface About 170 reet of this work is complete! com-plete! along the course of the tunnel tun-nel at intervals. Very high-grade silver and copper ores have been encountered en-countered and as the quartzite is approached, some valuable discoveries discover-ies arc looked for. Developments at i lie Gold Crown have been encouraging encourag-ing that other investments have been made in acquiring the highly mineralized miner-alized zone. The Iltunbolt which lies to the north has been taken over by a syndicate syn-dicate from Long Beach, California, ami as soon as minor details are satisfactorily sat-isfactorily arranged, a lively campaign cam-paign will he conducted. Much valuable val-uable ore has been taken from this property, principally by leasers who performed in a most perfunctory way but now that a well systemized campaign cam-paign will be conducted under the new management, the property should sho-uld become a valuable asset to the investors. On the Capital property which adjoins the Humbolt, a vein of high grade galena has recently been disclosed dis-closed and the stockholders feel elat ed over the. holdings. Mr. Joe Pulley secured a bond and lease on the Gold Crown Extension group of mining claims and feels very encouraged over recent developments . |
