Colorado Springs, Col., Sept. 14.- Colonel H. S. Ervay has just brought from Cripple Creek a piece of ore weighing 100 pounds which is literally allve with free gold 'and which will carry values aggregatlng fully $100,000 to the ton. The ore was taken from a new find and is in many respects the most sensational ever made in Cripple Creek. The rich rock was uncovered at a depth of only six feet. Considerable excitement has been caused by the new rind, as the Cripple Creek formation has all along been thought to be of such a nature as to preclude the possibility of gold existing in such abundance in the country rock.
