 The Copper Mountain mine, where the mpany's ho!stIng woIks are situated, Is the heaviest worked of any of .ae.r claims employing nearly one Luudred men.

 The Yankee mine Is next m im- portasc-. Miners % Il feel asiUi.ished at nll placing t4Is mine second on the list, nus 1 nave promised 10 give a truth fat report aud propose doing so. The miHe doe- not in the frs, place, employ one-half the men. and m the second there is not one-sixth the amount ot ore taken our. True the metal is equally as rich, bat it Is more difficult to work. As they are sinking tune may de- mon-trate, the fact that the Yankee may be first on the list, but at the present DO sree, honey.
