The Valley View Property.

A Rustler representative visited the
Little Bernice company's property
with Manager Karr the first of the
weke and had the pleasure of behold
ing sight which would undoubtedly
lead the inexperienced into ecstasies
of delight. The chimney which has
been drifted for at the I25-foot level
has been broken into and the hard
walls of the vein matter which have
been followed so diligently have sud.
denly broken off and given way to the
softer and more mineralized substances
of the great chimney. The chimney
as yet has been penetrated but few
feet, but the hard and soft boulders
coated with numerous streaks of min
eral from knifeblade to an inch in
thickness demonstrates beyond ques-
tion that the chimney has been cut.
These coatings of ore are sulphate of
iron and while the values in precious
metals are not sufficient to make the
proposition pay, they increase as pro.
gress is made Mr.. Karr is somew hat
disappointed that the mineral of the
chimney does not carry better values
but he has faith, as is everyone s
opinion, that the high grade ore they
encountered in the hard rock before
coming in contact with the chimney
will be found in the chimney in great
bodies when the proper depth has been
attained. If the ore now exposed in
this chimney was of as good value as
that encountered in the vein the Val
ley View would be a rival of the Bas-
sick for first place in production, and
who is there that can say other than
that the chances are most favorable
for its becoming such? Depth
will solve the problem. Silver Cliff
