GROUP Of CLAIMS
Another Important Copper find in Elk
Mountain-Fifty feet Of Tunnel
Opens up Ore Body

J.C. Burnett and G. D. Buch-
anan, who have been up in Elk
Mountain for two weeks, at work
on some valuable copper claims
they have in that district, returned
home Sunday evening, the trip
being made from the mine to the
Pennock residence on, Lake creek
on skis.
They brot back with them speci-
mems of the rock they struck the
last day in the breast of the tunnel
they worked and it shows unmis-
taxable copper signs and the belief
is that ore of good grade well be
had in f. few feet further. The
claims, of which there are eight,
are known as the "Porcupine
Group" and are located adjoining
the Elkhorn group of claims,
which have proven to possess large
aud valuable ore bodies sufficient
warrant a concentration at the mine.
The ore brot in is from a tunnel
on one of the claims known as the
"Bull Elk" and shows that the
work is entering a solid body of
copper stained rock. AS these
claims are situated in a copper
district and az they are undoubt-
eddy on the same leads which have,
as depth was reached, opened large
bodies of copper ore, there cannot
be much question about what will
be found as they gain depth in the
mountain on the tunnel they r
now pushing in.
The men have a log cabin-a
living room, which they use when
at work on the claims-and a black
smithshop where they sharpen
their tools and mining implements
They are confident of what they
will find as their work progresses
and as the claims lie in a mos. ex-
c%ellent mining district, everyone
also believes they are on the track
of a most excellent showing of
minerals.

smooth, crawling belly of the worn
