CASE OF ALLEGED SALTING.
A somewhat sensational case of mine salt-
log has just come to light In this district , In
which M. Irlnnvrty of Denver was the Intended -
tended victim , says time Denver 'fimes.
The property In question Is the Alice , a
rlocation on Dul hi , or what was known
to cattlemen lS Bull hi before gold was discovered -
covered at Cripple Creek. 'fho hill Is south
and west of Wilson creole , and In n portion
' of the district where mineral has not yet
'I been found On the Alice a shaft has been
. - sunk to a depth of several feet , and In this
shaft a Peculiar formation was found , saro-
what resemblng tim gold-bearing quartz of
the district , but yet 1 Ito different.
m was this rock that they salted and attempted .
tempted to palm off on Mr. Finnerty. But
before he llald any money on the property
Ito called upon Wuensch , the well known
mining expert , to make an examination of
the property. 'fogether with Mr. Finnerty
and ! r. Wuensch , the owner of the sfled
mine went there and secured n number of
samples from the simaft , which , when as-
sayed , ran $131.40 to the ton. This was more
than Mr. Wuensch expect from the rock ,
and ho at once became snsplclous. That
night ho soaked soma of Limo best lookIng of
- ? - the rock mill night In water , and the next day
took I to the same assayer who hall n1de
the former test , The shrinkage In value was
80mothlnl phenomenal. There was a short-
ago of $111.80.
After this , Messrs. Wuenseh and Finnerty
agaIn went to the simaft , but found n man on
guard , who positively refused to show them
to cnter. Thil satisfied them beyond question -
ton that the mine had been suited , Ind Mr.
Wuensch returned to Iezmvor ) cursing the
man who had tried to put up a job on him
and his friend Flnnert
4 The names of time partl's who salted the
mine are kept quiet for the present , as pros-
cctons wi probably folio % % , although no
money changetl hantls on the deal before , time
trick was discoverell.
