The Cleveland Mine,
solomonvilIe Bulletin

The mines of Walker & Ming in the Lone 9tar district, nine mics north of SOlomonville, continue to show q we'll defined vein in porphyry, and to increase in width of ore and vein as depth Is gain ed. The depth Is not yet sufficient to show what the character of the ore will be, when free from surface and local in- tluences. The vein at 90 feet, the pres ent depth, IS much better than higher up, an indication greatly Tn favor of increased quantity and quality. Returns from the recent shipment have not been received, hence the value of the ore cannot be stat ed, except by comparison of the ore now being mined with that formerly shipped and from which returns were received. Judging by this standard, the ore now being taken out presents features show ing much greater value. The formation Ill which 1t Is found is very favorable for finding large amounts of ore at greater depth, and of much greater value. Mug gets of sulphide of silver were found ire quently from few feet below the sur face, in the whole extent of the works | These have increased Hi frequency and size, If not ln richness, necessarily ill creasing the value of the mass of ore taken out. This ore has from near the surface contained large percentage oi lead, ln the form Of 0rystGlized lead Ql wolfenite, which renders 1t valuable smelling ore, much sought after by smel | ters.
 These mins are valuable for ores now i in sight, and which are sufficient to keeI 1 employed considerable number of men for long time, and will yield the own CTS valuable returns and profits above al i expenses of working and marketing.
 | The permanent value of these mines can be established by further dead worE | at the same time without interfering witt that of taking out ere from the presen | levels. A main shaft should be sunk a some point free from surface water, t, intersect the present levels. and pushed down in the vein to at least the depth 0 100 feet, as 1t seems probable from pre- sent appearances that at that depth, tn effect of surface and local influences vii be passed and overcome. This vein pre- sents very favorable features for attainin, great depth with practically no waste 0 really dead work, the vein being so near ly perpendicular, and of sufficient widtl between the walls, without taking any O the harder material composing the wall down. or fracturing the walls by blast ing, and the ore contained in the spac of the shaft, if 1t maintains its presen value, will pay all the cost of sinkin such working shaft to the depth of 100 feet Which at proper distances levels for stop ing can be run, and ths ore stopped Qqt without interfering with the prosecution of the work in the main shaft. Presen appearances of the vein, and the forma tion in which 1t is situated indicates pel manency and value.
 The development of these mines int
 productive properties, will induce furthe
 discoveries and development, and thi end Is greatly to the benefit of the farm
 CTS and others of this valley. Ever established industry that consumes farl
 products enhances their production, cor
 sumption and price, and tends to mak the whole community self-sustaining.
