COLIN MCINTOSH TELLS
ABOUT OHIO COPPER

1T ls nothing short Of a crime that the
ONO Copper property, which has actually
put into sight such an enormous body
of copper ore, and which has its splendid
mill almost completed. should be suffering
for the lack OF a few hundred thousand
dollars or working capital, but such seems
TO be the fact
Up to the present time there has been
expended ON the property in development
work, construction and machinery. Sl,200,-

200 feet.

trated. is into |, and from over 1000 assay
samples it has been demonstrated that
the average copper content Is LA per

extraction. or 37.s pounds of copper per
ton OF ore. This Is very satisfactory
recovery. and higher than the average
Il am safe in predicting that 1T viii not
cost us over Sl.l0 per ton to mine and
mill our ores, and this low cost is made
possible by reason OF the manner in which
We win, by. gravity, mine our ore and
send il TO the mill.
Our Mascotte tunnel which Is 1900
feet long, and which taps the ore body
at depth of 100 feet has grade or
half OF / per cent in favor Of the
lode, and is one OF the items contributing
TO our low cost of mining.
"Gt should take US but a compare lively
