intend to continue sinking to a depth
of 600 feet, when we will turn our at
tention to the opening up Of the orc

Continuing, he said that as soon ~
the work on the Copper Mountain group
was started in good shape IT was the
intention Of himself and ex-senator W.
II. Reynolds Of New York, who IL as
ISOLATED with him and president Of the
company, to duplicate the plant now on
the ground Mt the Binghampton group
and duplicate the development Of that
property on n large and extensive

build a branch railroad to the stoddard
camp, which will greatly reduce the
cost Of transportation and supplies NJ

vice. A large amount OF development
work has already been done on these
mines, and immense ore bodies are
opened up b the various shafts and
tunnels. which win be explored to still
greater depth by the extensive opera
tons which have lately been decided
upon.
