Excellent Prospects of jefferson
Copper Mine.

The copper mine situated about one
which work was begun on Jan. 9th last,
has developed until it has exceeded the
hopes of the most sanguine.
Three shafts have been sunk thus far
shaft No. upon the property of Mr..
j. E. Veirtz, and shafts No. and upon
the farm of Mr.. Slas Thomas. Shaft
No. 3 has been sunk to depth of 8 feet,
but the soil being of "a very loose nature,
it caved in considerably and has been
temporarily abandoned. Shaft No. 2
has been extended to a depth of about
80 feet. One very good vein of ore has
been found, but greater results from this
shaft are almost certain. The mouth of
this shaft has been cased up in a very
substantial manner and it is also equipped
with all necessary appliances. Shaft
No. thus far the one that has yielded
the best results has been sunk to depth
of about 20 feet. In the sinking of this
shaft an excellent stratum of copper
bearing ore was discovered few feet
below the surface, which considerably
raised the hopes of those engaged in the
work.
Passing on through this rock, which
was several feet in thickness and whose
ore was encountered, which showed a
very high percentage of copper. Digging
down further it was found to be richer
vet, until at a depth of 6 feet some mag
niticent specimens were obtained. Meth
err the depth, width nor length of this
vein of metal is known. The mouth of
this shaft has also been cased up, which
shows that the company means business.
When shaft No. is extended this same
rich ore will no doubt be found.
The deeper these shafts have been
sunk the larger the quantity and richer
the quality of the metal-bearing rock.
From shaft No. has been taken most
of the ore specimens that will command
the admiration of any man. Hunks of
ore several times as large as man.

The red oxide of copper will assay at

! has been found in considerable quantity

A number of persons well versed in met
allism, have seen the products of this
mine and say it is most promising. Prof.
Clark Newton, of Nevada, mining ex-
pert of renown and an eminent authority

the mine and personally examined the
ore, said that it was superior to any cop.

Want MOnOcacy Bridged.
G. B. CROFT.

A number of residents of Rocky Ridge
and vicinity, were before the county
commissioners on Monday of this week,
petitioning them to erect bridge over
the Monocacy river at what is generally
known as "Mummy's Ford"
They carried with them petition sign
ed by over 200 citizens and taxpayers
who represent more than $500, 600 worth
of property. The petition was presented
by Hon. Reno S. Harp, who acted as
spokesman for the delegation.
The river at this place will require a
bridge $50 feet in length, which if built,
will be joint bridge between Frederick
and Carroll counties, and it is said the
Carroll county commissioners are willing
and ready to stand half the expense con-
nected with the building.
The commissioners of the two counties
will visit the site and then hold joint
meeting and determine what course they
will pursue.
This ford is in the midst of a rich agri-
cultural section and must be used in
crossing the Monocacy, there being no
bridge accessible within four miles either
up or down the stream from Mummy S
ford. That the people of that commune
ty having been helping to pay for other
bridges along the stream in the way of
taxes for many years, the commissioners
should favorably consider this appeal and
erect bridge 50 badly needed in tina t
community,
