mines have fallen into discredit, but new copper
mines are constantly being discovered, by reason of
which more attention is given to copper mining
1t is stated that the copper mines in the depart
ment ofCopiapo now yield monthly 1872, 900 qls., to
which is to be added 10000 qls from other mines
not enumerated. Calculating the ore at So so per

cred.

tage of the first favorable moment. Rumor saws
that General Castillo has joined issue with Echen-
