ELY-COPPERFIELD MINES.

History and Future Prospects of this Cele-
brated Property.
For many years tie Ely y-Copperfield
mines were the most prominent and
valuable copper mines in the East.
Their productiveness was great and
the copper produced was of fine quail,
ity. Fortunes were made and sunk
in the mines. Long and expensive
litigation ate into the profits and fin
ally there was a collapse and work
was suspended for long time but the
mines were left and are very valu-
able. There is now a prospect that
mining operations on a greater scale
than was ever known before will soon
be going on in these mines.
The mines were first operated by a
farmers company early in the present
century and although only rude and
primitive methods were pursued the
company made a profit from working
upon the outcroppings. Early in the
tIllIl lleS McSSIS. ySOI ~ LOluHcy Idu

hill, where the mines are located.
nearly to the main body of ore and
then abandoned the mine. In 1854
Captain Thomas Pollard started in the
Tyson e Binney adit and had gone
but four feet when he struck the vein
and found n continuous body of ore.
The vein was from to 16 feet wide.
In 1854, 1874 tons of ore were mined
and sold. The output was increased
year by year until in 1860 there was
mined 1852 tons. During the civil
war copper advanced so far great
profits were realized. The output was
increased and in 1861 the directors vo-
ted dividend of per cent to be paid
quarterly and this was done for five
successive quarters but in order to pay

have been worked through the year
and there is promise of a greater
growth in these Industries in the com
ing year. In Tunbridge a practical
and level-headed granite manufactur-
er from Concord, n. H., has establish
ed granite cutting sheds and has al
ready a good business started.
Great Opportunity for Investment.
1t has been said that had only a
small part of the money, energy and
enthusiasm that have been expended
and wasted in attempts to boom far
away western and southern towns
been expended in the development of
Vermonts resources she would have
been made one of the most prosperous
of states and her children, finding at
home opportunities to achieve success.
would not go to other states to grow
up" That this statement is true
seems evident today when there is a
promise of great prosperity for her
through the building up of new and
old industries. Her resources are un-
bounded and no state offers greater in
ducements for the investment of capi-
tai. She has fertile fields, hills that
are covered with valuable timber and
are filed with a mineral wealth, de-
veloped and undeveloped, that is al
most ineXhaustible and hundreds of
water privileges that are unused. Her
marble and granite industries have
grown to proportions not dreamed of
a few years ago, yet there is now a
promise of a greater growth.
Returning to the copper mines. The
ore found in the mines of Orange
county is sulphuret of copper and the
copper that is produced is of a very
fine quality. The Ely mines, famed
for their great productiveness, produce
copper that for fineness and toughness
is unsurpassed. The Ansonia Brass &
Copper Co. of Ansonia, Conn, pur-
chased the entire output of these
no doubt but that the copper found In
the other mines of the county is equal
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1899-12-15

early as 1893, two years after Vermont
was admitted to the Union and before
she had got fairly settled in statehood.
The deposits were in pockets scattered
about in the great body of sulphuret
of iron, from which through the first
half of this century the greater part
CT the copperas used in this country
was produced. In 1880, procuring
the services of Mr.. Isaac Tyson, Jr.,
Of Baltimore, Md, as advisor, the Yer
mont Copperas Co. commenced mining
and smelling copper and continued to
do so for nine years. Soon after COM
ing to Strafford Mr.. Tyson commenced
prospecting and finally bought many
mining rights in the state. One of
these was that on the north side of
Copperas hill, now owned by the Eliz-
abeth Mining Co. Mr.. Tyson, with
Col Amos Binney of Boston, bought
mining rights on Dwight hill in Yer
Shire and ran an adit horizontally
from the foot of the hill to within
four feet of the vein Of copper ore that
20 or more years later was struck by
Captain Thomas Pollard, the Vermont
Mining Con boss. The cost of run
ring the adit was great and after pen
etrating the rock 81 feet without strik-
Ing the main body of ore, Messrs. Ty-
son and Binney suspended work.
On Pike hill in Corinth copper ore
was discovered by Ira Towle at an
early day and later Ira Barber of New
York obtained a lease and made sew
eral excavations, taking out consider
able ore. His lease expired and in
1855 the Corinth Copper Co., chartered
by an act of the legislature, secured

richest parts of the kingdom of the
so-called Copper King. The discovery
Of copper in these hills dates back to
the closing years of the last century,
and since it's discovery many million
tons have been mined and sold and
for some years one of the leading cop
per and mining smelling plants of the
country was found in this county. The
mines were famed for their produc-
tiveness, yet never until within recent
months have even those most inter-
ested had a fair knowledge of the
possibilities in Orange county copper
mining.
A review of the present year, if the
statistics of Orange county industrial
progress could be had, would be in
teresting A general outline can be
given. Within year steps have been
taken that will soon place the cele-
brated Vershire mines, best known as
the Ely mines, very nearly upon their
old footing. At Copperas hill, in Straf-
ford the Elizabeth Mining company
have completed the running of an adit
from a 400-foot level, more than 1900
feet through solid rock to intersect
their great vein of copper ore that is
from 80 to GA feet wide, have run a
drift along this vein for 1000 feet or
more and have exposed to view the
largest body of ore ever seen. On
Cove hill, in the northern part of
STAFFORD, the Reynolds Mineral and
Chemical company have sunk a shaft
for about 20 feet through some of the
richest copper ore ever found near the
surface of a mine. The Corinth mines
long known as valuable, have been
sold to wealthy people who will soon
commence active mining operations
Out-copperings of copper ore have been
found through STAFFORD, and many
mining options have been bought and
except copper falls in the spring these
mining options will be exploited. The
times appear to be very promising for

tistics are not available but it is as
serted that the products of the mines
paid expenses from the first. This
property was sold to Smith Ely, pres
ident of the Vermont Mining Co., in
1877 and under his management min
ing operations were pushed very vigor-
ously up to about the time of the ely
war" of 1888. The ore was drawn
across the hills and smelted in the
furnaces at Ely. The yield and rich
ness of the ore mined here was such
as to give promise of a good paying
product in the future. This property
has been sold to Cushman & Martin of
Bennington, who have not commenced
operations. South of Pixies hill near
Cooksyille, a Corinth village, the Bos-
ton & Corinth Mining Co. has pur-
chased mineral rights which are on
the same line with the Pike hill, Ely
and COpperas hill mines, and from the
outcroppings there appears to be no
doubt but that this company will find
fine ore in it's prospective mines.
In the northern part of STAFFORD, a
few miles from Copperas hill and west
of a line running from Copperas hill
past Ely to the Pike hill mines, are
the Reynolds and the Green Mountain
mines in which has been found some
of the richest copper ore ever found
in any mine at the start. These mines
are on Cove hill. Further particulars
them will be found else
where.
Only at the -Copperfield, the
Elizabeth and the Reynolds mines are
active mining operations going on now
but early in the spring undoubtedly
all the mines named and perhaps 9th
er mines will be worked. There are
a number of prospective mines upon
which work will be commenced in the
spring.

in the mine by the new owners, but
they are now planning for some pros

This will be preparatory to more ex-

Numerous Rights Secured.
Mining rights adjacent to the Eureka
mine were bought by the Union Min

ly valuable. If in the past, pursuing
faulty and incorrect methods of min
ing and smelling, profit was foun1
in copper mining and smelling, then
today when improved and less costly
methods are pursued great profits
should be made and copper mining
should become a leading industry of
the state.
Early Mining Operations.
Copper was found on what is now
known as Copperas hill in Strafford as
mining rights in the hill and for some
time worked the mine now known as
the Eureka mine. This property was
sold last June to Smith & Darling of
