CIIPRITE DISTRICT SHOWS
SIGNS OF EARLY ACTIVITY

Cuprite are not being worked at this
time. The sulphur trust will not offer
an attractive rate for the rude pro-
duct of the mine, and the only thing
that is left for the owners is TO build
a refinery on the ground and create
their own market with the wholesale
and retail men. This takes a goodly
sum of money.
Sooner or later the attention of capt.
tai will be drawn to these Cuprite sui
phur deposits, that have been deslg-
mated by a number of prominent mln-
ing engineers as the largest and purest
beds in the world. During the mining
congress blocks of sulphur, 80 to 80 per
cent pure, and weighing several hun
bred pounds each, on display IN the
Mineral Palace, attracted general at
t~ention and comment and wonder. 1t
seems that these great beds of sulphur
offer a most attractive mining and
manufacturing opportunity to capital
and they will eventually be turned 20
good account and create a big industry
for Cuprite.
Development work is going on IN a
number of Cuprite holdings and several
shafts are down 100 to 200 feet, with
some development work. Tie mineral
~ization of the district is attractive from
a mining standpoint, and with the re
newed interest hat is now being taken
in Nevada mining districts, Cuprite will
probably come out with some good
properties.

there is copper in my ore. And for
the very reason hat the copper is pres

deep seated, and this gives nae con-

that Goldfeld, and the whole state of

there is more real mining going on all
