The company controls twelve thousand acres of rich copper land in North Texas
which is ais vduable. for farming and town sep purposes. The tract is some 10
miles long and about three miles wide. 1t is equivalent in size to five hundred ori-
nary mining claims.

The property is within IL miles of a railroad and fuel and water are available.
The ores and mari are on the surface and a few feet down, and can be mined and
converted into copper cheaper than any other deposits in America. Copper will be
produced on the ground and a plant of moderate costw l treat 300 TO 500 ons of

The property has a historical reputation and a record in the State Geological
Reports. 1t has been examined an reported upon by the highest engineering, geo.

From Report Of Prof VIM. DeRyee, former State Chemist of Texas.
'Such numcrouso utcrops of copper oreh have been traced owe the summit and
sides of those hills that ut of $4,000 acres of land which the company own, hardly
a 100 acre tract should be found without ore upon the surface.
A croHscut to the depth of Is feet was made upon the Ibel lead, and ten
hours work resulted in the raising off 900 lbs. of rich copper oe averaging about
60 per cent. of copper. (Worth $780, na)
tits easily smeted and the shatai in which, is found car also be more econom-

From Report of Prof. w. F. Cummins, former 0eologist of Texas.
y = \ In order that I might see the condition of this lode after this amount
Of work had been done, I employed a few hands and cleaned out the tunnels
when I fonnd a lode of copper. This ist the disulphate of copper and will yield as
high as 70 per cent. of copper. I drove the tunnel twenty feet further into the
hill, following the lode. When L had gone about twelve feet I struck another
lode Of copper eighteen inches easta and six inches below the second lode. In three
feet more We struck another lode below the second lode. Immediately below the
lower sandstone is a stratum Of cupiferous mari schists extending the entire width
Of the tunnel, say four feet, and is probably much wider. This mari will yield
about Is per cent of copper"
From Report Of Prof. Gustave Westman, Mining Engineer.
81 beg to express my entire satisfaction with an confidence in the report
made by Prot. W. F. Cummins.
I only had to remov On foot of earth from the surface N the three spots
already mentioned in order to find large deposits bedded into the clay. After
washing, this clay was found to contain Is per cent of copper or # same value az
above. These ores could Of course be taken out ant made available at a relatively
small expense.
