Sellers, president of the Iagle Valley Mining & Milling Mill-ing company, that property has de-1 de-1 veloped to 6iich an extent during the last thirty days that It has the earmarks ear-marks of a big producer. Mr, Sellers said yesterday: "The mouth of tho tunnel Is on a copper outcrop which assayed as high as 45 per cent, with belter than an ounce of gold. This tunnel was sent 1 in for about twenty-five feet, and then a winzo was sunk thirty-seven feet. From the bottom of this winze I a drift was run north of the lodge, but in cutting a station for larger equipment we struck some ore on the south side. Following along this, wo cut the ledge, which is about I twenty feet wide and which is full i of stringers of ore that assays j around $30. We are now drifting on the ledge toward the Athens proy- erty, which has been a big producer produc-er of high-grade ore. At th3 ptesent time there is about 1,000 tons of gold ore on tho dump and thirty tons of copper ore, all of which have been sampied and show over $50 per ton. We arc one and one-half miles from I the railroad three and one-half miles ; from Carson and nine miles from the new smelter which Is being built." !
