Show I IUSIN VALLEY IS I SlMjP WELL J. B. Thompson, Well-Known Mining Man, Pleased With Iff ! SAYS MINE IS ALL ;jf ; CLAIMED FOR IT Interesting Work Going on at , Depth Calling Many to J. B. Thompson, tho woll-known min- .hi injr man and formerly of tho firm of , 1 w; Thompson & Browning, returned f.t Wednesday from a visit to several J ' points in Nevada of present-day inter- if I est. During his trip through tho Sage- o. I brush State ho spent some timo at tho ty; jtf Mason Valley property at Ycrington It I in which he is interested. This was W f not the first timo Mr. Thompson has i made an inspection of this well-known yl coppor mino, and he noted a very grati- fl fyinff improvement mado during tho I M, timo separating his two last visits. Jlo i" . said: ifi "I have been keeping closely in iT touch with the Mason Valloy develop- ID . mcnts for a lone time, so when I went II' . into tho property a few days ago I 5 was in a large measure prepared for r.fc the things I saw. The mine is now showing up splendidly every bit as ft good as I had expected trom the reports about tho same, and yon can say that 4 the Mason Valley is exactly what they claim for it." . Mr. Thompson's visit is generally LJ 1 thought to be the forerunner of a series P J of visits by local stockholders sched- r I ulod to occur during tho summer If I months. The Mason Valloy is a Salt tl S Lake proposition, and at the present Y L time there is a campaign of develop- p , ment work under way that is fraught it jjL with tremendous importance to the u p'M company. Tho lower workings aro mak- i-i ing for the ore bodies had above, and i ; they will encounter the samo at a vor- ! l v tical depth of 300 feet greater than tho ' '. mine has been sounded up to date. This ! , will not orb' demonstrate the existence l 1 of the ores with deeper levels, but it 4 ; will present a splendid tonnage to viewt xjs and a tennage that will be capable ot ( measurement according to the best f standards of mining. It is this work ' i that attracts attention, and there is 11 'f hardly a stockholder in tho city but ' v what wants to sec tho mine for him- i Vfi self. f W'hili on the subject of tho Mason i X Valley, it may be well to mention the ft Jj fact that none of the 70,000 shares of k treasury stock recently placed among ll the stockholdorp at $1 per sharo will bo i ll allowed to go begging. This treasury Kjf allotment will place an ample fund in Pf tho treasury for bringing the mine to L.f the logical state of development, and til there are 230,000 shares still in tho p- treasury which can be utilized later on Tjj when time comes to build a smelter, for .11' instance. hi Boston Copper Gossip, jfr- James A.
