Mines are reached. These mines were
| worked in the early seventies. The ore
| found here is different in character from
| the mines already described, some of them
| carrying copper in larqe quantities. The
| principal mines of this vicinity are the
| Boulder and Boss, the property OF John

| There is also an open fissure that exposes
