COPPER EXPORTS ARE
STEADILY INCREASING

all appearances they viii be increased
in the near future. At the Lucky Cues
what little work that has been done
since that mine was recently started up
has developed considerable ore. A
large body Of ore, the extent Of whicn
Ia not known AZ yet, has been discov-
cred AT the confluence of the East Side

Rich Bullfroe Ore
A small sized sensation was created
among mining men of Columbia and
Goldheld on Monday, when the first
shipment Of ore from the original
Bullfrog mine arrived and passed
through camp says r. II. Richards,
who has come to Los Angeles from that
great gold camp. In order that every
body might be made aware of that
most important fact when the wagons
containing the ore passed through the
towns a string band was placed on the
forward wagon to dispense music and
attract the attention of the populace.
The ore was considered so valuable
that IL was deemed best to send two
shotgun messengers with it, and their
presence on the wagons added much to
the interest manifested by the crowd.
The shipment was the first from the
district. and 1t required three teams to
haul IL. The assay value of the ore
was $3640S, and there was something
like ten tons in the shipment, which
was sent to the Reno reduction works.
The ore was taken from shaft which
is now only 50 feet deep, and which has
carried shipping values almost from
the grass roots.
AIumina Is Found
While doing excavation work in its
tunnel near town a few weeks ago the
klamath Canal company discovered a
white substance of such a nature and
In so large a quantity that it sent SAM
pies away and had them assayed. The
results, says the klamath Republican,
show that it is a formation known
technically as silicate of aluminium. The
assay shows that it is of the purest
quality yet discovered. 1t is as white
as snow and perfectly solid, though
very light in it's natural state. It's
principal value in it's natural state
would be for polishing metals, as it is
absolutely free from grit, though from

substance can be adapted to other pur-
poses. When exposed to heat it be-
comes hard and solid as stone.
