Info Title:
Strong to Sink to 1100 Feet
Sinking is in progress in the main shaft of the Strong Gold Mining Co., at Victor, and will be continued to the 1100-ft. level, or until water prevents further sinking. This level will correspond with the 1500-ft. level of the Portland No. 2 shaft, the deepest of the Battle Mountain district.
graphic for visual presentation of text It is believed that the oreshoot under development on the main Strong vein, at the 1000-ft. level has proved the richest orebody disclosed to date. The mine is shipping an average of 4 cars per day to the Golden Cycle mill at Colorado City.
graphic for visual presentation of text The total production of the Strong mine is not published, but it is a matter of record that the company had paid out in dividends $2,475,000 to the close of 1903. At a conservative estimate the company will have distributed not less than $3,500,000 in dividends to date.

Strong Mine Stuff in 1908
The Strong mine is one of the steady producers of the district, the ore being almost entirely in the granite, near the contact. There is good ore at depth, and I anticipate production for many years. Several million dollars have been paid to the owners during the past ten years; it is a close corporation, having only three or four owners.
graphic for visual presentation of text Their present output should not be less than 2500 tons per month of $30 ore.

Info Title:
Strong Mine Blown to Pieces
As a result of an attempt by the owners of mines at Cripple Creek to resume work that camp has been the scene of great excitement of late. It has in fact had the appearance of an armed camp. The owners were anxious to begin shipping ore over the new roads that are now within reach of their mines. To do this they realized that they must put non-union men to work and give them an ample guard of deputy sheriffs.
graphic for visual presentation of text Friday morning a party of masked miners visited the Strong mine where non-union men were at work and ordered the men out. Immediately after the warning had been given two large blasts were placed by the strikers, one in the shaft and the other below the boiler.
graphic for visual presentation of text A fuse was attached and the people in the neighborhood were told to get away. As the fuse was burning it was discovered that there were 46 boxes of giant powder in the mine, which could be ignited by the blasts. Several of those instrumental in the destruction of the property rushed to the mine and carried the powder to a safe distance.
graphic for visual presentation of text If it had exploded a portion, if not all, the town of Victor would have been destroyed. The mine property was completely destroyed. The explosion was heard all over the camp. The timbering was blown in all directions, and portions of the boiler were found after all was over several hundred feet away.
graphic for visual presentation of text Rumors were circulated for a long time after that all the workmen had been killed by the explosion, but this is probably not correct, as some of them were seen to leave the property and go towards Cripple Creek somewhat frightened.
graphic for visual presentation of text An hour or two later the striking miners, to accentuate their work of destruction, set fire to the shaft house and it burned for over an hour. The army from Denver witnessed the blaze.
graphic for visual presentation of text It having been reported that three men were entombed in the Strong mine, Saturday a party of strikers went down the shaft to investigate. The three men consisting of Sam P. McDonald, the superintendent, Charles Robinson, foreman of the mine, and John Baggett, the engineer, were found uninjured and were brought to the surface.
