| COPPER SPECIMENS-W. {. .Fos-

from the Proveedora mine in Mexico
| in which he and other Phoenix people
are interested. The ore is very rich.
| too rich to need assdying, though no
more so perhaps than the ore in some
other mines. But what pleases him is
I the size of the deposit. The drift from
which it was taken has passed through
over hundred feet of IL and is still in
the same formation. Mr.. Foster thinks

must have had him in mind at the time
for he couldn't have made ii more to
his liking If he had done the job him
self, except that he would have located
ii in Arizona perhaps.
