HON. EMERY nj. Low, President, and others, !
Boston, Mass: Gentlemen - There is
abundant evidence of rich copper deposits, no. |

thht TINS VIII prove Ia be ole OF the exceptionally
rich copper-b4aring fields OF The tinted state.
Inc ores foundIn these deposits are immensely
rich IN copper values and the cupeIiferous clays
that are also found hero in immense beds, while
nor as rich, viii undoubtedly prove or great
value on account Of the chea pness with which
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 III hard formation; and there is no deep

country. Very respectfully YOURS,

This ore Is what is known as Chalcocite OF con-
