II has just lately been ascertained
that the property O. the Great
Northern Copper Company 10 . very
valuable one, ore running II ounces
to the ton in gold having recently
been taken.from their No. 3>shaft;,,
and from total of ten a1O different
assays taken from different parts OF
the mine and off the dump, the de-
dueed average was $2a65 per ton,
copper and gold. W =. - E Z
From several test. pits already put
down on the Keweenaw Western
property, it. has been ascertained
beyond the peradventure of q doubt
that the same conditions and vein
matter that obtain nand under the
property of the Great Northern are
here in plain evidence. "
Assays taken hap hazard from
shaft No. of the Keweenaw Com.
pauy returned an average content
of 81 pounds to the ton. No. l shaft
6x10 feet has attained a depth of q
feet, with FIVE ~ feet of vein matter
standing; the work 10 being carried
on under the slope plan-that is to-
cay, mining under the vein and.
obliquely around it.
The fact that we are willing to al
low you to 60 down into our shafts
and pick out samples of ore with
your own hands should demon
strate to you our confidence in the
proposition az a whole.
| There is neither blood nor tears
in honest mining. We want you to
come and see for yourself the hon.
esty and fairness of what we have
to offer.

SCIENTIFIC DATA.
The authorities indicate that this
lode is the Western extremity of the
keeweenaw, or Lake Superior Cop.
per Lode, which has yielded hun
dreds of millions in dividends and
no mine situated on this lode has
ever been known to exhaust it's ore
reserves. Prof. r. F. Irving, the
acknowledged authority ons copper
bearing rocks of the Lake Superior
District, in Monograph v, on page
40. United States Geological Re
pofts, says: =.
Grounding the turn at the end of
the great Keeweenaw sypclinal in
the st. Croix Valley, we find the
drift covering lighter, and here in
the vicinity of SNAKE AND KETTLE
RIVERS, the region is one which, in
the early days of mining excite.
