"Such numerous outcrops Of copper ore have
been traced over the summit and sides OF those
hills that out of 1000 acres OF land which the
company own, hardly a IG0-acre tract should be
found without ore upon the surface.
A cross-cut to the depth OF 10 feet was made

that this will prove to he one of the exceptionally
rich copper bearing fields Of the United states

rich in copper values, and the cupeTferous clays
that are also found here I'm immense beds, while

they can be mined and reduced,
The mines are accessible at every point; the
cost OF mining will be very small, as the ore Is
not in hard formation; and There is no deep
work.
Ihave examined the various reports made by
others, and confirm them.
AS far as have been able 10 investigate, and
] have done so carefully, am of the opinion
IL is one OF the richest copper fields in the
country. Very respectfully YOURS.

Dear Sir:-
have made a rather hasty examination of the
sample of copper ore which you gave me and
submi the report.
This ore is what is known as Chalcocite or con-
per glance and Is copper snlphide lC in ~
mainly with some impurity such as iron, gangue,
etc.
1t contains 6esec OF copper and is very fine
ore. The percentage reported is correct 10
within one-half OF one per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
