fitable enterprise OF the dar, and 1t 10 more
stable than any other class Of mining. Given
property where ore exists In sufficient
abundance 1t can be mads to pay well, The

opportunity Is afforded Of becoming inter

presented by Ell Progreso Copper Mining

the property has been worked for genera
lions there can be no speculation about 1t,
and it seems to be q project where only
capital Is needed to very proftably develop
Its great resources.
