Dear Sir: I have examined the Emma
and find great encouragement for a good
copper property there. The Emma has
an unusually large vein. even for Butte.
II is we'll in the copper district. and very
rich silver and gold ore appears near
the surface. In most of the mines of
Butte it is necessary to go through the
silver and gold layer before getting to
the copper in paying quantities. With
sufficient depth, you should find a copper
mine. Yours very eruly,
