The mining industry of Howard
copper district is putting on the ap-
pearance of permanent work although
little has been said, considerable has
been done along the line of getting
ready for business. W. II. Gowdy has
commenced to sink his New Year
,
Lode" and it is said he will prosecute
work diligently prospecting his ground
to thorough extent. This claim is
an extsntion of the Malachite. Messrs.
Cooper have been prospecting their
ground to determine where to sink to
the best advantage on their group
and have discovered large body of
ore at At feet depth in the Uncle
Billy and it is said work on this mine
will resume and make shipment BY
April 18th. In the meantime work
will be pushed on their Malachite,
which it is claimed has undergone q
thorough test for value and several
tests give returns ranging from 8
to 20 per cent copper and $45.00 in
gold. The 3 per cent test was barren
looking rock and is the body of rock
making up the ledge 16 feet wide.
The more important values we're from
the ore chute. The owners say the
Malachits stands prominent among
the prospective producers of Colorado
copper properties. 1t is evident that
other properties only need to be
thoroughly investigated and capital
turned this way in order to make
this vicinity great copper producing
field.
