COPPER MISES-At present but little attention
is being given, either by our prospectus; or men
OF capital, to the many rich veins of copper
known to exist in various sections OF the Terri
tory All are eagerly searching for veins pro
tuCins gold and silver. and even the richest cop
per vein i passed over IL though il were hut 50
,r4r, The a. California
are proving immensely valuable, and we have
without doubt veins containing equally rich ores,
though few of them have been opened In iea-
vine District are the oU!y copper leads on watch
any work worth mention has been done. and
these would not perhaps have been wrought
upon but for the fact that the OF the district
contain 4 large per cent. Of gold and s!lver-trom
So TO $50 per ton Some OF these ores would
even now pay for shipment 10 England. though
thgv must be hauled on wagons across ;l.e ScrcaS.
Once we have railroad over the MOUNTAINS our
copper mines will be quite rs profitable ~ "ur
mines of gold and silver, they are therefore wor'
thy of much more thought and attention than
has hitherto been bestowed on them by our p"n-
pie. We may have many othrr ores Ihai Ei'Sat
be worked 70 our profit were we 70 take the
pains 10 ascertain their value: also many miIe-
