COPPER AREA UNDETERMINED

Col w. M. Parish, one of the most
prominent of the many prominent
mining engineers of N0H York city,
and friend of George M. Nix, the
prominent Dolly Warden mine oper-
ator and investor, has returned from
a visit to the Dolly Warden country,
and will leave Monday morning for
New York.
Col. Parish, whose offices are at l 0
Wall street, mas been away from his
headquarters since last March, and
is eager to return and take up the
threads of his business again.
What about Ely and her future?"
he asked, repeating the question that
had just been put to him as he sat in
one of the big leather chairs in the
Northern lobby last night.
What about Ely and her future?
Well, Ely need not be worried about
her future. 1t will take care of it
self, with the usual amount of help
from her citizens and the people who
are interested here. She needn't be
fretted about anything. It's all COM
mercial mining here. The only ques,
ton that needs to agitate this COM
munity is the question whether she
can produce the copper as cheaply
as any other part of the country. |
believe that Ely can produce it as
cheaply as the other fellows.
'T am convinced know you can
produce it as cheaply as any other
place can. There's no need to worry
on that score.
at takes years and. years to de-
velop and even start great plant
like the one that will be in operation
here in a short time. After that
start has been made it will attract
great deal of attention. Great lus-
ter will be attached to 1t, and it will
be known all over the world, and the
camp will be known with it, and be-
cause of it.
"The richness of the Robinson dis
trict is surprising. 1t is as large, in
point of the volume of copper in
sight, if not larger, than any other
district in the United States. The
copper producing material in sight is
abundant, and the prosperity of the
entire community is thereby assured.
"No, | would not say that what
you have in sight is mere drop in
the bucket as to what may be de-
veloped. That would probably look
as though I did not appreciate what
you have. 1t is mighty big drop
in the bucket.
"But I would say that this dis
trict is not developed as much as it
may be developed The exploration
of the district will reveal the fact
hof hn1 ic 1ar ho
is now believed to be.
"Ifl eighteen months you will have
everything going. Then you will en-
ter upon an area of constant growth
and development You will grow
steadily, surely, perhaps slowly, but
the growth will be permanent. No
one really knows to what extent your
copper areas will be developed and
enlarged.
1.-THE Robinson district has not got
the whole of the copper yet. by any
! means, in my opinion. 1t will take
years and years to determine the
bounds of the copper belt, north and
south. under the limestone.
"What about the Dolly Warden
country? So far as I have seen the
country looks very good to me, in
many of the properties. My visit was
not a professional one, nor was it
made as an expert Ny examination
was, therefore, that of the sightseer,
and not that of the expert. 1t was
purely superficial.
$50 far as I saw the showingS were
good, very good, in many of the prop
critics.
"Take the Dolly Warden Copper
company's holdings, the No 2. for
example. This property has all the
