Mining in Hancock County.

The mining interests Of this County are
assuming considerable proportions. II
seems to be no longer a question whether
silver and copper can be found in quanti-
ties that will pay TO work, as the Sullivan
Silver Mine and the Bluehill Copper Mine
have already proven the presence OF these
metals in quantities beyond the average of
the successful mines OF the West. Mines
are being opened on the same leads in
other localities, and ether promising veins
are being discovered almost every week
Experienced mineralogists and miners ex-
Dress great faith in the abundance OF the
metals here, and capital has already begun
20 Gov in for investment. There lie every
reason TO believe that q new source OF
wealth has been discovered in this County
which viii more than compensate for the
depression that has been felt in the lumber
business. As 10 all mining excitements.
some will be disappointed. but the careful.
Intelligent investigator will find chances
for investment that can hardly fail Of yield

the same resemblance. The pecullarity

being tons weight. They are characters

Of the rock. IL Is thought 10 b. ''bliud lead :"
Three assays have been made from thi. ore,

and the last assay gave IA penny weight. Of
gold per ton. The ore is raised from the cut
by derrick worked by horse power.
Seventy feet north OF the Il foot vein is found

same Kind Of copper ore. Work ha. recently
been begun on a shan on this vein.
