Info Title:
Raven Vein/Ore-Shoot Description
In the Raven mine the length of the ore-shoot is from 100 to 240 feet, pitching 65 degrees to the south. The pay streak changes about from foot to hanging wall. Free gold and telluride are visible down to 460 feet. The vein was not oxidized whilst in the adjacent Walter, owing to oxidation, the tellurides are undergoing decomposition with free gold as a pseudomorph occupying the form of the original telluride crystals as a result. Walls are well defined vein, 4 feet wide, swelling to 10 to 12 and even 16 feet. Slickensides or striae are common with bright metallic luster, showing much upward or downward movement. The striae are like corrugated iron on a small scale. The rock is breccia. This vein differs from the others, being unoxidized, and changes take place in the vein daily, while the other veins follow the line to the dyke. This dyke follows the vein 600 feet.
graphic for visual presentation of textFIG. 4. LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF RAVEN MINE.
graphic for visual presentation of text It is the only vein having an ore shoot pitching south and the only one showing slickensides. The character of the ore is different, containing less quartz and fluorite. In the Moose the vein is N. 12° W., dip 80° E. by N., two ore-shoots, one north and one south of the shaft. The north shoot pitches north at an angle of 82° whilst the south pitches north 68°. The shaft is sunk 650 feet, at the bottom is the probable apex of another ore shoot. Water stopped work. This is one of the few mines of the camp yielding silver largely, as well as gold. Two carloads from south ore-shoot yielded 54 ounces gold, 114 ounces silver, the silver is part native. Average silver value is 85.00 per ton.

Info Title:
Raven Mine Happenings
The Cripple Creek correspondent of the Rocky Mountain News writes his paper as follows.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text The Raven Mining company, with properties on Raven hill, is preparing for a more vigorous working of its claims than ever before. A main working shaft has been started among the little nest of holes that were sunk by lessees last year that is to be put down 800 feet, at which point it will connect with the tunnel, which is being put in from Squaw gulch by the Raven Tunnel company. The stockholders are almost identical with those of the Raven Mining company.
graphic for visual presentation of text The tunnel is in at present about 700 feet, and has recently been put in first-class shape. To-day a contract was let to extend it an additional 200 feet, but the works must be completed within thirty days from date which is very rapid driving. Machine drills are being used.
graphic for visual presentation of text Before the bore will reach the point where the shaft is being sunk it will have a total length of a trifle more than 1,500 feet. The new find of high grade ore is turning out even better than was expected.
graphic for visual presentation of text Returns from the smelters show that in carload lots it averages, without sorting, better than $1,100 net. One car of high grade is now being saved that assays better than fifty ounces.

Raven Mine Owners Refused Injunction
Judge Hallett's Views.
graphic for visual presentation of text Saturday morning the owners of the Raven property at Cripple Creek applied to Judge Hallett at Denver for an injunction against the striking miners to prevent them from in any way interfering with the mines.

graphic for visual presentation of text "I must say that it is my opinion that the peace and good order of society in this state is committed entirely by the constitution of the United States and by the constitution of this state to the authority of the state.
graphic for visual presentation of text If the government of the state has fallen into the hands of socialists as it certainly has, or of imbeciles, as is probably true, that is our misfortune, but we do not thereby acquire the right to assume control of affairs on the part of the federal government."
