Hon. EMERY NJ. Low, President, and others. |
Boston, Mass: Gentlemen - There y |
abundant evidence of rich copper deposits ios
only at the mines already opened, but at various
that this will prove 10 be one of the exceptionally
rich copper bearing fields OF the United States.
Inc ores found la these deposits are Immensely |
rich In copper values and The cuper ferrous CLAWS
That are also found here In immense beds, while
not as rich, will undoubtedly prove of great
valne on account OF the cheapness with which
they can be mined and reduced
The mines are accessible at every point; the /
cost of mining will he very small, as the ore is
not in hard formation; aud there is no deep
work.
Ihave examined the various reports made by
others, and confirm them.
As far as have been able tn investigate. and
have done SD carefully, am of the opinion
IL is one OF the richest COPPER fields In the
country. Very respectfully Yours.

Dear Sr.-
have made rather hasty examination of the
sample of copper ore which you gave me and
submi the report.

per glance and is copper sulphide ~ i'm 81 |
