Plain facts is what you want, and plain facts is what we will offer you, to induce you to become identified with us in the making of one of thu Uncut properties ever offered to the public. Organize a club, then send an cxtert to examine the "STORM KING" MINKS, lie will easily satisfy yon of the richness of our property. "Note" The increased depth of the shaft mentioned in Professor Kburmau'H report was done in thu interval between his ex amination and that of Captain Paul. It was only done to prove conclusively the purmaueucy of our ledges. All the ledges can bo easily worked by tunfiolB, thereby saving vast cuius of money.

Engineer A. L. McEwen Made Survey Of Property And Located The Veins. New Drift Started On No I. And Other Exploration Work is in Progress. Tom C. Gray, tmperintendeut of the Valley Queen, and Mining En gineer A. L. MoEweu, of the Sump ter Sampling and Testlug works, came in from the mine last night. Mr. MoEweu has been out there for four or five days making a survey of the property and locating the veins. Exploratory woik is being carried forward now in three different places, and on a more exteuslve scale than ever before. It is Mr. Uray'a policy to thoroughly develop the Valley Queen, aud as expeditiously as pos sible. Woik has beeu prosecuted hitherto priuolpally on the crosscut for the main lead, and ou the drift following vein No. 4. Now drift has Just been started south on Tela No. 1, forty five feet from the portal of the crosscut. The starting of this new drift bad the approbation of Mr. MoEweu. It was ou velu No. 4, it will be remembered, where somo vety high values were recently disclosed. On the main crosscut, Mr. (.ray says, streaks of oxidized stuff are being encountered which leads him to the conclusion that another vein may be expected in a short distance. Veins 2 mid .'1 are ulso to he drifted ou later, according to tho systematic development program which Mr. Gray has outlined. MINE AND MILL 60ING FULL BLAST. L. R.
