Considerable excitement was caus.
ed down in Eden township, just few
miles south Of Leon, this week by
the discovery Of several large pieces
Of pure copper by workmen digging
In ditch upon the farm owned By
William Ray. For some time Mr. Ray
had noticed that rocks lying In the
bottom Of the ditch bore streaks oil
| copper, but had never given the mat
| ter serious thought until J. NJ. Os
borne, who resides upon the place al
a tenant, found one piece CT coppe.
weighing four pounds. Then follow
| ed the discovery Of several Other
| pieces. Should 1t develop that there
| was copper of any considerable guam
tity upon the farm. 1t would mean
a fortune for the owner of the land
and an industry of very great i'm
| rortance to Decatur county. Bits oi
| almost pure copper have been pillow
ed and dug up on other farms IN this
vicinity In the past. 1t Is probable
that steps will be taken in the neal
future to make a thorough investiga
ton OF the prospects upon the Ray
| farm.
