From Report OF Prof. WIN. DeRyee,
Former state Chemist OF Texas.
"such numerous outcrops of copper ore have
been traced over the sammit and sides of those
hills that out OF A., 900 acres of land which the
company own, hardly 100 acre tract should be
found without ore upon the surface
A cross-cut TO the depth of 10 feet was made
upon the lsbell lead, and ten hours work re-
sultedm the raising of 5000 lbs of rich copper
ore, averaging about 90 per cent. OF copper.

ARCHER CRY, TEXAS, MAY 3, 1e9s
Hon. EMERY NJ. Low, President, and others
Boston, Mass: Gentlemen - There u
abundant evidence of rich COPPER .eI,us.as, ~.
only at the iniues already opened, but at various
.ther parts OF the property, aud IL is my opinion
II lIa a ~ az nal llv
rich copper bearing fields of the United States
The ores foundin these deposits are immensely
rich in copper values and the cuperiferous CLAWS
that are also found here in immense beds, while
not as rich, viii undoubtedly prove of great
value on account OF the cbeapness with which
. they can be mined and reduced.
The mines are accessible at every point tho
cost of mining will he very small, as The ore Is
not in hard formation; and there is no deep
work
have examined the various reports made by
others, and confirm them.
AS far as have been able 10 investigate and
l have done SO carefully, am of the opinion
il is one of the richest copper fields In the
country. Very Respectfully YOURS,
T. BURTON EVERETT, NJ. L.
Mr.. Everett was sent out from Boston to
Mr.. G. II. Savage, Mine Examiner Of Butte,
Montana, after samples OF ore from the prop
erty. "The ore IS the richest in the country.
IL yon have the field you can pay 81 100000 diyi-
dends per year"

LOWELL, June 2ist, $780,
Dear SIR
have made rather hasty ex xamination of the
sample of copper ore which you gave me and
submi the report.
This ore is what is known as Chalcocita or con-
per glance and Is copper sulphide ~ in -
mainly with some impurIty such as iro.i, gangue,
etc.
IL contains $685. OF copper and is very fine
ore. The percentage Ieportel is correct 10
within one-half of one per cent.
