COPPER CITY, SHASTA COUNTY We
met Mr.. A. g. Springer, recently, at
Reading, and learned from him the fol-
lowing items concerning mines at Copper
City. The town is located 25 miles north
east of Reading. Mr.. Thompson, pro-
prietor Of the Stump hotel, runs a stage
ard express daily from Reading. One of
the ledger most worked AT present is the
Winthrop. The shaft is 100 feet deep,
connected with tunnel 100 feet in length.
The ledge is about 25 in average width in
the snatt. Over $50 tons of ore are al
ready out, which is expected to yield $50
per ton in gold and silver. The company
is composed of Messrs. Spruancs and
Stanley, A. G. Springer and Thos. Math-
ison, ofSsn Francisco. They own ground
j 500 feet ip length, 600 feet in width, and
have applied for II U. S. patent. By Il
novel system of operating the mine, yet
to be completed by the company, the ex
pense of steam hosting works can be
fortunately avoided for years to come.
Mr. Springer has promised to give our
readers the benefit of description of the
mine in due time. The Wi throp com
pany was Incorporated in Decent Der, 1877.
They intend to erect mill for reducing
