ing samples from, its entire face and
from the shaft. These samples were as
sayed and varied from thirty per cent
the lowest, to the highest, forty per
cent, pure copper. The negotiations
for the purchase of the claims was
thereupon contaminated and the valu-
able property secured to the company
on very satisfactory terms, in as much
as the purchase price Of the mine is to
be paid out of the proceeds from the
mine itself.
THE NEAREST SHELTER
is about 40 miles from the mine. and
the total expense of mining, hauling
and smelling the ore will not exceed
500 ton. The mountain roads are
impossible in the winter season, but
just as soon as they are settled in the
spring, operations will be commenced
at the mine and the hundreds of tons
of high grade carbonate and oxide cop
per ore will be mined and wagoned to
the smelter. without question. this
wonderful mine will pay for the OK
pense of its own development from the
very first, as there will be
A NET PROFIT
Of $50 to $50 q ton for every ton mined
and smelted. II, when the shaft has
been put down to depth Of 100 to 200
feet upon this property, it is found that
the ore continues anything like the ore
at and near the surface. 1t will un-
doubtedly place this mine In the list
with the most famous copper mines
Of the country. The average of the ore
at the famous
IRON MOUNTAIN COPPER MINE
in Shasts county, California, is from
seven per cent to ninety-five per cent
copper. The ore of the celebrated
Verde" owned by Senator Clark,
averages only about seven to eight per
cent copper. The Copper Queen" in
Arizona, averages about seven per cent.
In none OF these great mines has there
been found any ore that would approach
in richness the ore in the July"
Just below this company's property
is the famous Sierra Butte gold mine
which, in the last 40 years, has paid
over $16,000,000 in dividends. Over
1000 feet below the July claims, is the
end of one of the drifts of the Sierra
Butte mine. The water which flows
into this drift and which must flow
down from the July" claims, is SO
strongly
IMPREGNATED WITH COPPER
that it will turn or color the blade of
shovel or of any piece of metal If
left in 1t over night. This water could
not be so strongly charged with copper
IL the ledge or deposit did not extend
down hundreds Of feet into the noun
tain. Indeed, there is every indication
that under these claims is an entire,
solid mountain of copper.
A few months of development work
on this remarkable property alone may
open UP deposits of copper that will
make every dollar Of stock in the COM
pany worth par, or even more.
NEVADA COPPER CLAIMS.
In addition to the foregoing this COM
pany has located on government grant
near Yerrington, Nevada, the following
group of copper claims: The "Ione,"
"Mayfourth," Belle of Canton" "Du-
chess" and the Auburn Belle" These
claims are adjacent to the Lucky Boy"
Dewey" and other rich copper mines
which have been worked for many
years and are now being operated by
Dyer Brothers, of Yerrington. The
ore in these mines is rich enough that
by sorting out the best, hauling same
by wagon IS miles and shipping to
San Francisco smelter, after bearing
the cost Of mining, hauling, freight and
smelling a small profit has been left
to the owners. There is a rich copper
belt running through this territory and
some very valuable mines are being
opened up.
THE "BLUESTONE" MINE.
located only a short distance from the
above group of claims, with but little
work done was sold last
summer for 100000. A small amount
of work is done on the lone" claim,
opening up vein four feet wide which
will assay eight or II per cent cop
per and 81 to SO ton In gold, with
some silver. A custom smelter has re-
Gently been erected at Yerrington and
it is thought that with smelter SO
close these claims can now be worked
at a handsome profit and that Yerring-
ton will shortly be the center of a won
derful mining district.
