Mr. Wagner has been success
ful in interesting capital to open

Iowa capitalists with himself and
partners and the property will be
extensively developed with a view
of placing a mill of suitable ca
pacity and character on the
ground at an early dale.
The party will go to the prop
el tv, which is in the Shoup nay
district, tomorrow. Trail will be
broken and a camp established
at once in order that development
work can begin immediately.
The showing on Ihe property is
exceptionally promising. The sur
face outcrop is very rich and a
tunnel driven -0 feet tapped tin
ledge 80 feet below Ihe outcrop
and shows three feet of high
grade ore. The miners believe the
ledge tapped is not the main one I
and the upper tunnel will be con
tinued for some distance.
liir pr<>per iy auorus ideal con
ditions for cheap handling of the
on». A work tunnel i()0 foot he
low Ihe piesent one will land the
ore right al Ihe site where it is
proposed to erect the mill. The
people interested with Mr. War
ner are men who are familiar with
mining and have made a success
of their ventures. They are
financially ahle to develop Ihe
property and to place ,x mill suit
able for the treatment of the ores
when that stage has hern reached.
Mr. Walterman states there is
a good deal of favorable com
ment heard on the outside* about
Yaldez and he believes there will
he a number of monied men visit
the ramp this summer. Practical
ly mi failures have been report
ed from Ihe camp as the result of
development work to date and that
is considered as a remarkable
showing by mining men. He
stales that Mr. Townsend, of Ab
erdeen, S. I)., one of the capital
ists interested, will visit Ihe dis
trict this summer and may be ac
companied by other capitalists.
