GoIdfieId Copper Prospects

The term 'Goldfield, the greatest gold
camp in the world" may in the future
be changed to read "Goldfield, the great
copper camp.
Goldfeld now has four producers
of comparatively high grade copper in
the Consolidated, the Florence. the
Gold Bar and the Jumbo Extension
companies. True, the principal value
in the ore from these properties as yet
is gold but there is a gradual change
as greater depth of operation is at
tained, bringing more and more cop
per- content into the ore. Ore running
as high as 25 per cent copper is being
taken from these properties and speci-
mems may be picked running as high
as so per cent copper. Practically all
the. sulphide ores in the camp contain
from j to 8 per cent copper, and even
the oxidized ores carry slight cop
per content.
In the Consolidated workings at
900 feet depth there is more copper
than ever before encountered in the
property. and below the $50 foot level
of the mine so far as has been made
public there have been no large de-
posits encountered of the dark colored
