The CLARION.
MECHANICSTOWN, March II, 1871.
Copper Orc.

Mr.. D. B. Russell, an enterprising
citizen Of Waynesboro', Franklin
county, Pa, has recently had sur
yey of the watson Farm" on the
South Mountain, not far from the
Monterey House, made by Professor
Bechdolt, Professor Of Natural Science
in Mercersburg College, who gives it
rs his opinion, after an extended
visit and "report" Of the locality,
that copper ore is found in sufficient
quantities to work to good advantage.
The Professor says:
II was requested by you to exam
inc the developments that have been
made and the supposed deposit Of
magnetic iron on the southern end Of
the farm. The tract more particular
" included in my examination con-
sists of three hills ranging from the
North to the South. These hills are
separated from each other by two
gullies, through which small rivulets
run, which unite on the eastern line
of the hills and furnish the water
power for a saw mill on the southern
extremity of the farm.
The rock has a dip to the east at a
steep angle. Their strike is from the
northeast to the southwest. The rock
consists of Serpentine, Chlorite, tai
cose Schist and Quartz. They may be
referred to the metamorphic paleozoic
age.
On the hill immediately behind the
house, the one farthest to the North
a vein of quartz crops out near the
summit Of the eastern slope. The
loose rock covers quite space, but
the solid rock was no where exposed.
Back from this quartz, in southwes-
tern direction, about two hundred
wards from the summit OF the south
rrn ridge and down the southern slope,
the copper surface indications are
found.
On the second hill the copper is met
with again on the northern slope.
The indications are richest about a
third way up the slope. The quartz
on the hill crops out on its southeas-
tern side.
The surface Indications mainly CON
si.t of native copper, scattered through
serpentine, chlorite and quartz in
spangles and threads, the red oxide
and carbonate. In few specimens |
have found traces Of copper smut.
One piece of native copper picked up
on the northern bill weighs two and
quarter pounds. 1t is almost
pure, a few particles Of quartz adher-
ing to it.
\ chemical analysis of two speci-
l."Il4 made by Prof. Chas. IL, Budd,
NJ. d., of Franklin and Marshall Col
I"gr, yielded respectively as follows;

points of copper visible-in 100

LOOKING Up.-The Frederick, Md,
Examiner has correspondent who
writes from Mechanicstown, with live
" appreciation of the wonder work
ing influences of railroads. 1t seems
that the new road constructing to that
place, has made quite sensation in
Europe, and is attracting the atten-
ton Of royalty. We make an extract
or two from his last letter:
1t is rumored that the widow Of
Maximilian, the Empress "Carlotta,"
now said to be perfectly restored to
health, will visit st. Josephs Semin-
airy next summer. A number of dis
tinguished persons from Brussels and
Antwerp will accompany her.
Letters received from Paris, and
Munich in Bavaria, by some gentle
men near this place, state that a num-
Der of French and German families,
with consi !erable means, contemplate
permanently locating in close proximi-
ty to Mount st. Mary's College and
Mechanicstown. The fame Of this
place, thanks to the Western Mary
land Railroad and other agencies, will
soon be extensively known in Europe
Some experienced miners from Corn
wall are also coming over in the
spring to take look at our mountain
formation and deposits.

100 grains


A surface specimen of decomposed
rock and containing carbonate of cop
per Welded to me over forty per cent
of copper. Because these were only
surface specimens, therefore, | did not
think it necessary to make any COM
plete analysis.
A great many pieces of quartz and
chlorite rock are found full of cavi-
ties lined with the hydrated oxide of
iron. This makes it highly probable
that the character of the deposit will
change at some depth from native cop
per, and the oxide to surphuret OF
copper"
In opening out work, other
things than the richness of the deposit
enter into the account. The access to
market facilities for erecting the ne
cessary machinery and obtaining the
requisite power, adj these play an i'm
portaat part in the account of profit
and loss.
The neighborhood of the "Tape-
worm Railroad. y the line running
within one hundred yards of the south
ern extremity of the farm, will, in case
the road is built, secure easy access to
the markets. If the road is not built
the Western Maryland Railroad runs
within four miles of it to the South.
The creek near where the saw mill
stands will furnish the power neces-
Fary for a stamping mill.
This report shows that copper ore
abounds in our mountain, as to render
It highly probable that the valuable
metal in sufficient quantities may be
found in the Catoctin Mountain with
out going to Coqnimbo, III South
America, Or Lake Superior, to dig it
out in bulk for transportation to Baltl-
more, Philadelphia, New York, or
Swansea, in Great Britain. Copper
for ship bottoms, and other purposes
is in good demand, and its transporta-
ton over the Western Maryland Rail
