We will not bother you with theories, nor fanciful language to supjiort our contention. 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.

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.
