Dear Sir:-
| have made a rather hasty examination OF tho
sample Of copper ore which you gave me anu
subin the report.
This ore is what is known as Chalcocite or cop-
per glance and is n copper sulphide 70 in %
mainly with some impurity such as iron gangues
etc.
II contains $500 of copper and is very fine
ore. The percentage reported Is correct 10
