Strong in Good vein Adjacent to Queen of the Hill Old mines and old miners are making good: as a result of recent work two rich gold discoveries have recently been made. The first was at the Strong mine, Battle mountain, near the surface, and the second, at a depth of 750 ft., on the American Eagles property, located personally by the late W. S. Stratton.
An 'old timer', George Furst, has opened up a rich vein, on the upper Strong fraction, immediately adjacent and cutting into a later location the Queen of the Hills, of the Portland company.
Samples taken across 2,5 ft. of vein matter, have returned $75 to $800 per ton. Furst has taken out about 45 tons and his first shipment will be loaded next week. He will install an electric hoist if returns are as good as the assays.

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.
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.
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.

1Info 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Strong Mine Ships Regularly Strong—This mine, which was recently sold for $60,000 to Colorado Springs parties, is a regular shipper. The ore is not high grade, the best returns so far not yielding more than $50 per ton net.
Still the vein is nearly 12 ft. wide, the pay streak about 2 ft., and the balance will yield well when treated at the mill. At this mine the owners will sink a shaft 200 ft.
