From matters of record at the county recorder’s office: R. D. Kenney et al to the Lucky Bill Gold Mining company, mining deed—Dated Nov. 21, '95, consideration ------ ------ ------ shares of capital stock in the Lucky Bill lode, Cripple Creek mining district.

On the Hayden Gold Mining company's ground it is claimed that an extension of the Lucky Bill vein has been opened up in block 48. Since the vein has been uncovered the lessee has been successful in securing partners in the lease with considerable money and they will push the work systematically, and one of the first things to be done will be to sink a deep and well timbered shaft.
Mr. Sanbourne, the owner of the Lucky Bill, just east of the Hayden company's blocks, is trying to get a lease on some of the ground to follow up the extension of the vein.

LUCKY BILL.—This is a fractional claim, located on Womack Hill, directly east of town. A shaft is down 200 ft., is equipped with a steam hoist, and is being actively worked.
Recently a small nest of rich ore was found which netted $16 per lb. Another small shipment was made which sampled 362 oz. per ton. This property is owned by Denver people and is a close corporation.

LUCKY BILL.—This claim is situated on Womack Hill, within 300 ft. of the eastern limits of Cripple Creek. The shaft has been sunk 260 ft., and the drifting has kept pace with the sinking of the shaft.
In February the development paid for all expenses and in March from development alone a profit was made. The lowest grade of ore shipped has been 10 oz. of gold per ton; and recently 10 lbs. was sold which yielded $15 per lb.
This property is being worked as a close corporation.

Lessees operating the Lucky Bill claim on Womack hill and owned by the Stratton estate, have just opened an ore shoot of considerable importance which gives every evidence of being permanent.
A shipment has been made which returned values of $40 per ton in gold.
