make a test run on Ontario tailings,
but whether the work will be contin-

determined and will not be before the

see fit to continue the work after the

the mill indefinitely.
A VISIT TO THE vALEO.
A representative of the Record went
over TO the Yaleo Wednesday expect
ing to feast his eyes on fire gold and
copper ore in the face Of the lower
tunnel word having come over the
previous evening that the last shots
fired Tuesday afternoon had broke
back in the face. On arriving there,
the first person met mas Foreman Rer-
vim, who said he was very sorry to
say that nothing new was TO be seen;
the last shots had acted as reported.
but they did not expose the ledge. He
said, however, that the tunnel had
now attained a depth at which the
vein should be cut. and unless some
change had occurred in the dip any
day now should open it I'D. That it
would soon be cut Mr.. KerVin had 20
doubt whatever. Work in the upper
tunnel and incline continues as usual,
and the sacking and hauling Of ore
goes steadily on. The vein in the bot
tom of the incline is so feet wide and
solid ore clear across. It looks as
though there could be no possible doubt
of the ledge being in place nor of the
ore going to the deep the walls be-
ing as well defined and as perfect as
any mine in the district can show, so
there is not one chance in 4 thousand
for the Valeo to turn out a failure.
1t is known that q couple Of coDrer
experts are prospecting the country
between the Valeo and the head of
Snake creek. They have no regard for
the marking of claims or location no
tees. as they claim to be operating
for an eastern syndicate. and When
ever they find anything worth having
they enter into negotiations for the
purchase or bonding of the ground.
They have intimated 10 p2ople with
whom they have conversed that they
represent any and all kinds of money,
and if they discover anything they
want in this section they viii be heard
from. They travel with their ,wn
wagon, saddle horses, camping outfit,

only years old, and last fall knew
nothing of the English language, but
after six months schooling he is be
ginning to speak and write, and has a
greater command of the language than
his father, who knows almost nothing
of it. Unlike most Of the rising gener-

go to school, and is quick and bright
and eager to learn. The little fellow
has adopted the American style OF
dress, and is fast picking up the ways
of young Americans, too, though many
times his manners would put theirs TO
shame. He is devoted to his mother,
who, with his father, used very often
to accompany him TO school. Like most
