REAL HIGH GRADE SHOOT WAS
TAPPED IN DEEPEST WORK
MEANS MUCH To PROPERTY.

Before | left Los Angeles for Salt
Lake" said Fred A. Flindt of the
Mason Valley Copper Co. to the Salt
Lake Tribune on Thursday, II saw
dispatch from the mine to George
Il. Gum, which advised him that the
high grade ore bodies had just been
opened ON the fifth or lower tunnel
level. This. ! think. is the most I'M
portant news that ever came from
the mine. as 1t establishes beyond all
question that the mine goes to the
deep and that the high grade values
will go down with the ore. The east
drift on the lower level reached the
ore two or three weeks ago. but the
values were low in copper and high in
iron. The copper averaged about :
per cent. Ii is evident as was then
believed and now demonstrated, that
this material was simply the casing

With this disclosure made on the

Co. Is going to develop and block out

a very short time. For several weeks
the mine was without electric power,
owing TO the damage done by the

The ore bodies in the Mason Vail
ley company's properties have now
been opened along the strike of the
great lode in a north and south di-
rection for more than 600 feet. The
south drift on the $50 foot level is
still being pushed ahead through 8
to 10 per cent copper ore. the average
width of which is known TO be 35
feet or better. as demonstrated by
the different erosscuts through it.
Now that the same ore shoot has
been penetrated on the fifth or-iower
tunnel level, 1t will be only a short
time till II will require big figures
TO describe the tonnage and value of
the ores in sight in that magnificent
property.

Bessemer, June 1s.-fspecial.)-Pol is very warm subject in Bessemer with the election to the legislature and the election for the bond issue coming tomor- row. AS the election hears the promi- nent citizens are swinging into line and 1t appears will vote favorable to the bond issue. There is a strong element of op- position but it is believed that when such men as Mayor l. A. Lewis. President R. F. Smith of the Bessemer National bank i; w. T. Kennedy and U. Schwabacher de- clare in favor of the issue, the rank and file of the voters will be found on the right side of the column.
 In the country between Bessemer and the county line the sentiment Is not so favorable.
 The campaign for the legislature is also warm. Capt. Romaine Boyd was in Bes- semer this morning attempting to over come the unfavorable sentiment to him created by his attitude on the annexation to Greater Birmingham. This has hurt him somewhat in this city, owing to the ever present fear that Birmingham will some time in the future attempt to an- nex Bessemer. Captain Boyd has strong adherents in the city, nevertheless. The candidates will all work at the polls Sat- urday and a good deal of interest Is man. listed in the result.

 Flynn refused to be pinned down to the exact time or days upon which he drove Mrs. Gould and Farnum about and created considerable amusement by his replies to some of Mir. Shearn's questions.
