FIND MOUNTAIN OF COPPER
Biggest Surface Showing in the
y. World Discovered Near
; Vancouver.

"A veritable mountain of copper has
been discovered within 80 miles Of
Vancouver, B. c., at Howe sound, by
prospectors engaged by Fl. W. Treat
of New York and Sir Charles HILBERT
Tupper Of Vancouver. Both Treat
and Sir Charles declare it is the big
gest surface showing in the world;
332 assays all over the mountain have
been taken, and it is claimed the ore
ran extremely rich. On the Daisy
claim, the chief showing in the group,
nature has done, according to Treat,
what gang of 200 miners could not
DO, IN five years, a stream of water
having worn away the soft schist and
exposed bluff of sheer, perpendicu-
lar cliff of copper ore 428 feet high.
Surface openings have also been made
with powder, which exposes the big
quarry of copper for 1,5OO feet.
: The famous outcropping is less than
half mile from the famous Britain
MIA group of prospects, which sold in
London recently for $1,5OO,OO0. It is
claimed by Treat and Sir Charles that
their properties have bigger show
ing than the Britannia group, and the
Britannia mines, according to the re-
port of the New York engineers, had
100000 tons of low-grade ore in sight
before 100000 had been spent on the
property.
