7Info Title:
Rich Strike on Wild Cat Lode of Monroe Doctrine Co. on Straub Mtn. Mining Investor—A very rich strike was made last week on one of the claims owned by the Monroe Doctrine Mining company on Straub mountain. A contractor by the name of Lyndon was sinking on this shaft when he came upon a body of sylvanite ore.
A piece of this was taken to an assayer who gave a certificate of 240 ounces of gold to the ton or in other words one ton is worth $4800.
This is one of the largest strikes made in the district and new mining machinery was ordered by wire and will be put in place as soon as it arrives, which will be in a few days, and a shipment will be made as soon as the ore can be taken out.
The mine is located on the southeast slope of Straub mountain. The strike was the talk of the district and the prospectors in the vicinity grow very much excited when they heard the report.
This means much for the locality in which Straub mountain is located as a very large force of men will be put to work within a short time taking out the ore.
