BY far the most sensational Jump into prominence
Of any mining camp added to the map in many
years Is that of Greenwater and the surrounding
district In Inyo County. Cal The metal respon-
sible for this sensation is copper. The copper
yielded by every shaft that is sunk shows that

and valuable that nearly s2o,0oo0o0 has been in
vested IN 100 claims IN the last six months.
The total copper production of the United States
for 1905 was about 100000 tons. Fully half OF this
tonnage came from Butte. where much of the best
copper ore mined shows values OF per cent, upon

The mining district in which 1t is located is un-
doubtedly, about to experience a period of great
prosperity: a large amount OF work been quietly
done in the last three four years upon nuner-
properties: in many instances valuable mineral

been struggling along short of funds and under
other embarrassing circumstances. are beginning

have been taken in and set up. and people on the
outside beginning to learn something of the
marvellous richness OF the district. But the one
factor that is to have potent influence In
the premises is the construction OF railroad rrom
the Union Pacific at Walcott to Grand Encamp-
