coat and drawing a revolver. Mccoy, see

civil engineer Of this city, claims to have
discovered in the Grand canon of the
Colorado river a vein of copper greater
than any heretofore known, together
with gold, garnet bearing schist, asbes-
tos. onyx, serpentine and coal in great
profusion
Mr.. Randall went through the Grand
ca non in boat for the express purpose
of finding the continuation OF the great
copper vein that is tapped by Senator
w. A. Clark's famous Verde mine in
Arizona
81 surveyed the vein for some distance
and found that where it cut the Grand
canon the canon was 5000 feet Deep" he
said. This, believed, was deep enough
to lay bare the vein and risked my life
by going through the canon il boat to
see.
81 found the vein expected. AT the
waters edge it is 600 feet wide, and runs
Upward 500 or 800 feet, branching into
three veins There is copper enough in
plain sight to keep 1OO-ton smelter
busy for a generation.
