graphic for visual presentation of text The importance of the discoveries and shipments of high grade ore from the Lincoln mine, three-fourths of a mile west of Gillett, cannot be too strongly dwelt upon. THE TIMES representative made a special trip to the mine yesterday to ascertain the facts.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Lincoln has been frequently mentioned in two line paragraphs in various papers of late, but this mine, far removed from the thicket of shaft houses such as are on Bull hill, Gold hill, and Battle mountain, has been looked upon as a doubtful quantity.
graphic for visual presentation of text During a period of idleness caused by the owners not being able to agree on a plan for conducting their business the Lincoln took the place in the public mind as an abandoned prospect in the granite where there could be no ore.
graphic for visual presentation of text One needs only to visit the spot now to be convinced that there are strong veins carrying the richest of gold in the despised granite where the hills are only gentle rounded knols, and the quaking asp grows the thickest.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The Lincoln mine is at least two miles north in a direct line from Bull hill. There is immense phorphyry dyke that cuts through the country almost due north and south and has been traced several miles north of Bull hill.
graphic for visual presentation of text The dyke itself has so far proved barren, but there is a net work of veins in the granite on either side of the dyke and it is these that are now being prospected for and are beginning to show good values.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Lincoln is at the intersection of two granite leads about 300 feet off from the porphyry dyke. The total depth of the shaft is now about 100 feet and a drift at the seventy-five-foot level is producing the ore now being shipped.
graphic for visual presentation of text The vein is from three to four feet wide and the rock in the vein looks like "hard times" granite; but it brings returns and illustrates the oft-repeated saying since Cripple Creek has been discovered that "gold is where you find it".
graphic for visual presentation of text In another drift at the seventy-five-foot level a new vein was encountered yesterday. It had been opened about four feet yesterday, and was all in ore.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The Lincoln is held and operated by the individual owners and is not in a stock company. The ore is sacked and a carload will be shipped today. The ore averages better than $100 to the ton and a streak in the vein runs as high as $500.
graphic for visual presentation of text The importance of this mine coming in as a shipper is unusually great, as it practically demonstrates that there is a rich field to be opened up from Bull hill north for several miles.
graphic for visual presentation of text Dargin and Son are the principal owners of the mine.

Info Title:
Lincoln to Ship High Grade
'Round About Gillett.
graphic for visual presentation of textThe New Mines that Have Put New Life Into Gillett.
graphic for visual presentation of text High grade ore and sylvanite ore is found nearer the surface near Gillett than in any other part of the Cripple Creek district. Visitors should not fail to see the mines and prospects in this part of the camp. A characteristic of all the veins in the granite is that they improve in richness with depth and this is one of the big inducements to purchasers.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Lincoln will ship another car of high grade ore tomorrow. Three veins have been opened on the Lincoln, all good ore.
