Josephine county is that now being
loaded from the Copper Queen mine al
Leland, is shipping about two ears a
week. In the present workings pure
native copper is being found in consid
cradle quantities. So-called kidneys of
this grade of ore are struck in the main
ledge and when the mineral is brought
to the surface it is as bright and at
tractive as humps of gold. Mr. Malo
ney one of the owners and present man.
ager, is erecting on the property new
sheds and buildings and making other
preparations for the rainy season. How
long hauling can be done from the
Queen depends upon the condition of
the roads, but it is expected that much
ore will still be hauled this season.
