Owners Of properties at the head OF
Big Cottonwood Canyon are firm In the
belief that some Of the best copper
mines Of the state will be developed
In that district during the coming year.
Good copper ore averages : or per

and, II il claimed, II only requires n
little money 10 make dividend payers
out Of them.
