W. 7. COOK UNCOVERS
SOME GOOD COPPER ORE

w. T. Cook of South Canon last
week uncovered four inch vein of
copper ore that assays thirteen per
cent metal on Middle creek, twenty
three miles northeast of Canon City
and nine miles southwest of Victor.
Mr.. Cook, who returned to Canon City
few days ago from his claim, brought
back with him some fine samples of
the ore taken from the bottom of a
ten-foot prospect hole. Mr.. Cook has
associated with him in the ownership
and development of the property Will
liam Isabel and Harry Decker of
South Canon In addition to the cop
per the ore runs seven dollars in gold
and six ounces of silver to the ton.
The vein was first discovered by Mr..
Cooks father twenty-three years ago,
but was not worked at that time be-
cause of the low market value of cop
per. The vein is on the Lockwood
ranch.
