rich copper-bearing fields of the United States.
The ores found In these deposits are immensely
rich In copper values, and the cuperiferous clays
that are also found here in immense beds, whh
not as rich, Will undoubtedly prove of great
value on account Of the cheapness with which
they can he 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.
