says the Boston News Bureau. This,
| however, was due to the fact that
while they produced an aggregate of
1O2, $4,000 pounds of copper, metal
actually sold and delivered amounted
to only 5961O,OOO pounds, or about 81

| The report comes from the famous
Walker mine, in Plumas county, Cali

ore averages little better than 8 per
cent copper, with from 50 to 81 in gold
and silver, with the values at the lower
level considerably increased.
