Info Title:
Cresson Mine Discovery
Cripple Creek.—Renewed interest is being taken in Cripple Creek, Colorado, owing to the discovery, in the Cresson mine, at a depth of 1200 ft., of a chamber or vug yielding 200 tons of ore and reported to have been worth $500,000, which has led to an important revival of prospecting.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Cresson is about half a mile northeast of Elkton and at an elevation of 10,000 ft. The company was incorporated in 1895 for $1,000,000, but down to 350 ft. no important orebodies were found.
graphic for visual presentation of text Below 600 ft. the ore-shoots were better defined, and under the active management of Richard Roelofs the property has done well for several years past.
graphic for visual presentation of text In 1913, for example, 51,696 tons worth $800,768 was shipped, the total mining cost being $3.61 per ton, to which was added $4.90 to cover freight and treatment.
graphic for visual presentation of text In 1914 shipments ranged from 3300 to 5300 tons per month, and the value of the ore from $18 to $28.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text According to H. B. Patton and H. J. Wolf of the Colorado School of Mines, there are two ore-shoots in the mine, lying on opposite boundaries of a cracked and fissured elliptical area in the characteristic breccia of the district and near an intruded mass of latite-phonolite.
graphic for visual presentation of text The fissured area measures 1000 by 500 ft. The northwestern ore-shoot measures 35 by 250 ft. in cross-section and the southeastern 150 by 500 ft. These are essentially two pipes. The chamber in which the rich ore was found was pear-shaped, 23 ft. long, 13ift. wide, and 40 ft. high. Around the loose fragments of rock partly filling the chamber, lining the walls, and in fissures extending from it, was a whitish cement consisting largely of celestite, and it was here that the bonanza was encountered.
graphic for visual presentation of text The extension of the ore shoot on the 13th level has now been found.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Naturally this find has stimulated prospecting throughout the district and the influx of explorers is considerable.

Cresson with Important Development
The most important development at the Cresson mine since the discovery of the rich 'vug' in 1913 has been made in the north-western area of the Cresson estate beyond the crater at the 1700-ft.. or Roosevelt tunnel, level.
graphic for visual presentation of text The ore-shoot as now developed on this level is better than 130 ft. long, with a width averaging 25 ft. over its entire length. The ore, shipped as broken, is returning between $20 and $40 per ton. The same shoot has also been opened up at the 1600-ft. level and as the ground above is virgin, it may carry through to surface.
graphic for visual presentation of text On the 1600-ft. level stoping has been commenced with the orebody holding its strength as in the deeper working. The shoot was originally found by diamond-drilling.
graphic for visual presentation of text The greatest value of the discovery is that it strengthens the prospect for other important discoveries in the same undeveloped area.
graphic for visual presentation of text The Cresson is shipping eight to ten cars of 30 to 35 tons capacity daily.
