On Ironclad hill the United Gold Mines Co. owns the W. P. H., Hardwood and rest of the Damon Group.

Cripple Creek.—An important revelation comes from the Damon on Ironclad hill, owned by the United Mine Company. At a depth of 312 ft. an ore shoot 3½ ft. wide appeared which carries 1½ to 3 oz. gold. There is a 3-in. seam in the vein that yields as high as $300 per ton.

A new vein and ore body for the Damon group has been opened up at the second level of the main Damon shaft by R. P. Russell and Frank Whitmore, lessees of the United Gold Mines Co. The ore is found in a vertical vein at its junction with one of the Ironclad hill "flats."
The ore is returning values of about one ounce gold.

Russell and Whitmore have taken a lease on the Damon claim on Ironclad hill, which is owned by the United Gold Mines Co.

Cox and Whitmore, operating a lease on the Damon group, United Gold Mines Co., have made a profitable find at the 350-ft. level of the main Damon shaft.

Those who are interested in Damon stock will be glad to learn that a receiver's receipt has just been obtained for the well known Diamond claim belonging to that company, the property, on which good values have been found.
Steps are being taken to clear up the other parts of the property at the earliest possible date. There is still a little litigation involving a small part of the ends of two claims, but it is not of a serious nature and will probably be settled at an early date and in a satisfactory manner.
It is the intention of the Damon people to get their property patented and out of the way of any possible litigation as soon as possible and there will probably be no difficulty as the only conflict of any kind is in the small portion previously mentioned.
