RICH STRIKE OF COPPER.
Yellow fietal Found in Boulder
Formation Near Florence.

ID Q Williams of Coal Creek,
has made what seems to be a rich
strike of gray copper ore thirteen
miles from Florence in the Green
horn range The strike has been
made in boulder formation which
can be traced for more than a 900
feet, the rock all the distance pro-
truding more than a foot abave the
surface of the ground
1t is neither blowout or lead
and the present owner is baffled
to account for its presence. The
body Is fifty feet wide and what
were once crevices between the
boulders is filled with lime which
will prove valuable for hux in its
treatment. Two holes have been
sunk, one to a depth of twelve feet,
from this a piece of the rock was
assayed which gave returns of
7 per cent copper and So in silver,
The assayer says that the ore is
worth S2l.75 owing to the high
grade of the copper. The mineral
is found on the cleavage of the
rock.
Those who have examined the
rock say that it is almost identical
with the sylvanite bearing rock of
the Cripple Greek district and is
said to be the only similar find of
its kind in this vicinity and may
prove funnel shaped as depth is
attained in which event the min
eral would become more concen-
trated. The rock is impregnated
with copper and it may not be
long until Mr.. Williams is ship
ping ore to the Rocky Mountain
smelter here for treatment.

been suggested. The action of the
board was based mainly on the fact
that many officers had gone TO the ex-
pense Of having their new uniforms
made with the blue facincs. in con-
.ormity with the original action Of
the board. and il was thought That
the work had gone too far to Justify
. change simply to crafty taste in
the matter of color. There is a strong
sentiment in favor of white facings in
the army. despite the action of the
board. and the matter will not be set
tied until finally passed on by the
secretary of war.
