4 Salt Lake gentleman who is well UP
IN mining matters in the west, IS of tie
opinion that the Highland Boy copper de-
posIt ana the copper holdings IN Idaho

the most wonderful showings Of this
metal TO be found in this western caun-
Try The Highland Boy copper belt, at
bingham, Is q, recent discovery, but with

states that at the Snow Storm. on the
