They Claim Developments on Copper
King Were Unsatisfactory.


King Were Unsatisfactory.
(Spokesman-Review.)
I'VE have spent $4,000 on the
Copper King property. near Mullan,
Idaho, and as yet 1t does not look
any. better than before we COM
menced work. The option taken on
100, 900 shares of stock at 20 cents
expired today. We have thrown il
mp and released the stock" said
Wilbur D. Greenough Of the Green.
)ugh Brothers interests, who have
for the past several months held
the option on Copper King. which
has been an impetus to boost the
stock in the local markets.
when we took over the option,
securing 1t from several hundred
small stockholders throughout the
northwest, Copper King had all the
,armarks of good prospect. In
working the shaft we have run past
the ore body where the vein made
4 fault, and have sunk $50 feet on
Wine. There is probably ore in
the mine. in the extension Of the
vein recently encountered on the I'M
oerial. but 1t Is SO far away from the
present workings that 1t would not
re feasible to drive a tunnel to reacl
it. The amount Of money which
would have to be deposited today
20 hold the controlling interest in the
mine was too large to risk losing.
We have so many other better pros
poets scattered throughout the Occur
l'Alene, Nevada and Wyoming dis
sricts that we did not wish to take
chances on Copper King playing out.
A score of mining engineers are
working in the west looking up new
prospective holdings for US, and up
20 this time all look better than does
Copper King. The stock will revert
% the treasury and to the original
folders. The mine will probably be
developed by them by levying assess
nents on the stock"
