Ing News

A lump OF copper ore weighing
seventy pounds is ordinarily gazed at
and passed by as common rock, but
when that seventy pounds will assay
36.6 per cent copper, % per cent gold
and 46 ounces of silver to the ton then
those who realize the value of such
ore will pay it deserved attention.
Such an assay means to the people
owning the ore S155.12 ton, and when
the vein from which the seventy-pound
specimen was taken is practically in
exhaustlble and lies very near one OF
the greatest railway systems then one
can begin to grasp the immense wealth
of mine of such ore.
The seventy-pound specimen will be
placed in the window of The Herald
office tomorrow morning to show just
what a valuable copper mine is In
operation in California.
Working Every Day
This is not a prospective mine. its
officers declare, but one that is being
worked every day by large force
of men and the specimen was taken
from the 100-foot level.
AS contrasted with low grade gold
mining propositions that are being
worked profitably at SIS and 500 per
ton, the Standard mines, located al
Gina, San Bernardino county, are in
a class by themselves.
Another striking fact in connection
with these mines is that they were
developed and are being worked by
California capital, invested by hun
dreds of shrewd people who readily
notice the chance for a big thing in
investing all the way from $100 to $1,000
in the Standard mines.
Said ona Of the officers.
For Small Investors
"It has been and is now the purpose
of the company to protect the small in
vestor and not to give the large cap
italist the control of this valuable
property.
"In matters of this kind it is usua
to advertise the sale of stock in east
ern papers, but in the case
of the Standard mines this wa:
not done, and local investors who werF
practically Johnny on the Spot were
given every opportunity to investigate
the true worth of the mines before in
vesting one cent.
"That the affairs of the company
have been wisely administered is fully
proven by the statement that during
the eight months that the property
has been in the possession of the
oldnudTu MlIl6S COMPANY ueNelOplIell'
work has steadily progressed and
shafts have been sunk, drills made
and all expenses paid. and the COM
pany will be enabled to declare a
6 per cent dividend August 1, 1906"
This statement will bear great weight
with mining men, as well as others
who are novices at the business.
One Thousand Tons on Dump
At present about 1000 tons of ore
are reported on the dump and the ore
is being mined at the rate of ten to
twenty tons per day. Continuous
shipments are being made to Salt Lake
and the ore will be sent there for
smelling until the new smelter is ready
for operation.
The showings of Standard mines, of
which the General Securities company
is the fiscal agent here, leads eminent
authorities to advise it as good as any
copper mines in the country today.
In the current issue of the STANDARD
Copper News an exhaustive illustrated
history of the Standard mine is given
The history is most interesting and
is we'll worth the reading. The Stand
