The ore from these tunnels shows more than I per cent copper, but this Is tho least favorable showing it Is said. Men or this valley who know something some-thing or mines and veins say that there Is a vein there from 0 to 40 reet wide. Experts who have been to4.his prospect, even Including those sent by Col. Mills or the Southern Pacific, say that the vein is not less than 80 feet in width, clearly defined and undoubtedly un-doubtedly containing ore of high values , Could Have Sold. Tills property is owned largely by Hon. Joseph Howell, Andrew Nellscn, of Hyrtim, John and Jas. Saulrcs, and it Is said these gentlemen might have sold this property on different occasions occa-sions Once $10,000 was offered, then $15,000, and later $18,000. They wouldn't sell, but this was before they knew the claim was on railroad land. It Is to be hoped that Hooper really means business and that Ills faith will not go unrewarded. It is said that Hart & Nobcker have been retained to do any fighting that Is necessary to hold the ground. |
