We will soon have another mining
company in Cherry Creek, and more
coming. It is now demonstrated that
there is more gold in connection with
the silver in our ore than was antici-
pated; and the fact that it is the best
of expanding ore is attracting the
attention of mining man all over the
country. We have hundreds of min
ing claims lying idle that could be
made bullion producers at a small
cost.

is Anaconda

Lyon Couaty Copper.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the 9Th,
says that samples of ore exhibited in
the city by Mr.. G. Milligan, indicate
that in Lyon county, New, is the
foundation for a copper camp as big as
that at Anaconda. The property
from which the samples come is an
old one, and under the name Of the
Spragg has produced a large amount
of metal. Into it has been driven five
tunels, the longest of which is 800
feet, while uncovered are ores that
yield as much as ID per cent copper.
There is an average of four feet of ore
in the property, said Mr. Milligan
yesterday, and while the quantity of
the metal varies, it is, in a large por-
ton of the deposit, found in the ma
tive state.
There arc in the camp, which is
fifteen miles from Wabuska, four
claims. each of which, with smelling
facilities, could be made productive of
high grade copper ore, while on the
other side Of the range are as many as
eight that, under similar circum-
stances, could be made to pay Mr..
Milligan believes there is fine oppor-
tunity there for a smelter.
