showing great interest. Salt Lake has
appropriated the cream, but there are
still good chances for others.
I'VE already begin to feel the spirit of

copper. When it is considered that the
ores of the district are almost three
times as high. grade and copper content
as the ores of the Ely district, it can be
seen that only about one-third of the
tonnage will have to be treated to get
the same results. Although the daily
capacity of our smelter will be but 800
tons, ii is simply a starter, as any one of
the three big mines here can bury the

copper mines. which are soon TO startle
