Mother Lode Mine
Makes Good Showing

Although 10 miles from a railroad,
ore from the Mother Lode Copper
mine on Mccarthy creek, is being
shipped at a good profit to the
owners of the mine. The following,
published in the Chintina Leader,
tells what the mine is producing.
James J. Godfrey, president Of
the Mother Lode Copper Mines Co.,
who recently returned from New
York and went out to the mines,
sent in another shipment of ore for
the smelter. 1t arrived yesterday
afternoon in five cars, aggregating
about $50 tons, over the Copper Riv-
er & Northwestern railway from Nc
earthly. 1t is now being taken aboard
the steamer Alameda and will be
transported to the smelter at Ia
coma. This ore was mined and
sacked last winter and was hauled
IS miles by wagon from the end Of
the ram to the railroad. 1t is Of
high grade quality and will likely
run in the neighborhood of 60 per
cent copper.
"A shipment of 1913 tons was made
last month to the smelter and the
returns show $3.50 per cent copper,
netting s147.41 per ton, af,er smelt
err charges had been deduc, ed or a
total of s29.29941, from which 81
S609S freight charges were deduct
ed netting the company $24,363, 40.
These shipments are significant and
important because they indicate that

ancient Roman coins, glass beads,
gold filigree work, golden wire and
salt water shells by the hundreds.
These reports We're so startling
