There is reported o big strike over i

some prospecting was done on a lttl
+ Mill rising out Of the valley, and a mos
wonderful strike is reported. Owe
Williams picked up a sample Of the or

not thinking it Of much value. The r'
suit showed that it carried some SIX bur
dred ounces in silver and eight ounce

Fuckers canyon is now monumenteC
" AS an Indication Of the amount Of mil
q eral in the valley it is reported that som
'e Of the prospectors had to haul the roc

Is miles. If the excitement keeps up theI
will soon be enough prospect holes
q the valley to furnish graves for all IL
cattle that are ranEing there.-Lord
