ANOTHER new
COPPER ZONE
Editor Wilson Optimistic Over
MayfIower-0Id Colony

Says J. III. wilson IN the NatN'
Copper Times:
The drilling in Mayhcwor lands
continues. and each additional core bu
emphasizes more strongly that th'
opening and developing Of the May
Cover lode will give the district an
other copper zone and one that will
result i'm adding more than one mine

money makers in this copper field. The
cores from lodes Is and II. the dis
covery holes, were thought to be away
M. and ON tho good things Indicated
ly these cores. the shares sold M II
around S1S.o0 per share. Since that
time cores have been taken from holes
20 and %. and each one richer than
its predecessor ard % is the groatcs;
core of them all-so highly and uni
formly charged with copper. that one
has to see IL 10 believe it-1nG the
writer although not from Missouri

a vertical depth of lel1 fec' where the
Maynower lode was cut. tc 1888 feet.
and practically this core for the en-
were piece where the copper WIS not
visible to the eye. but from 1919 feet
to no. or fer IS feet the copper was
visible i'm about every piece. and the
slddgcs from the several 6rillings IS
in all for this rs feet showed ACREAGE
contents Of sos pounds Of copper per
ton. while IL feet, CT the middle OF
the hg lode gave average contents
of 37.S pounds If copper per ton. And
then there is nothing spectacular
about any portion cf the core. but a
uniformity and practically continuous
showing of copper in shot and finr
form. hut Of a kind that will be easily
cared for IN milling. There is consider
able trap at places in the lode b"t this
trap carries copper and in CONNER
cial quantity.
Think If a core for 1SS feet, with
