PEACOCK COPPER
FOUND BY ELY
ties IN EUREKA

/. C. Moon, w. Roberts and w.
Miles of Ely have recently located a
group of copper claims in Eureka
county Mr.. Moon has several sam
pies of peacock copper that is ex-
ceedingly rich. Only location work
has been done on the group as yet,
but the owners are very enthusiastic
over their property.
The ledge is over 100 feet in width
and from the samples shown their
enthusiasm has not been misplaced.
The ledge may be traced on the sur
face for distance of over 200 feet.
