both already great properties although
they have hardly more than passed the
prospect stage.
Great Iron Deposits.
These are but a few of the mines I'M
mediately surrounding Nerrington There
are many others. and not all OF them are
copper mines. Gold prevails in all. while
in the Gallagher property II predom-
mates and runs 10 high shipping values
The Blue Jay mine, three miles east of
the town, Is a copper proposition OF large
promise, while the Minnesota, fifteen
miles northwest of the town, has 900 go
tons OF iron In the condition OF purest
magnetic exposed on the surface. II also
carries copper veins and has a great sur
face display of uranium in the form Of
a complex yellow oxide. 1t has not re-
celvcd much development yet, but Will
presently be taken in hand and developed
cnergetically.
Great Copper Proposition.
Though Iron prevails at the surface. it
appears TO be segregated from the other
ores. and the mine, with depth. VIII

uranium proposition. and as the pure
