thing to make it interesting. The pros
pective camp of CopperopoIs is IS
miles from White Sulphur Springs on
the old Carroll freightinc road. The
Anaconda people are down about $50
feet and seem interested and deter
mined to find out what's there, The
Edwards mine is down only about 35
feet, but a specimen of copper ore
taken therefrom shows good value.
Specimens from that country were sent
to Wales several years ago, but at that
time copper was not at a very good
price, and no developing was done.
Conflicts in government and railroad
surveys have held the camp back, but
that is thought to be about adjusted
/ There are about 40 men at work there
at present.
