Activities Prevail
At Copper Mines

Operations in the Blue Ledge mine
district are reported very active a.
present. A large fleet Of motor trucks
ar engaged in hauling ore from the
Blue Ledge field to the railroad at
Jacksonville, and the output from the
mines is increasing. Much of the ore
going to custom smelters is high
grade, and the yeild is expected to ex-
teed 100000 pounds of copper.
Most of the ore is produced from
the Blue Ledge mine, but the Copper
King and several other properties are
producing a fair amount of tonnage.
Mines that have been idle for several
years in that locality have resumed
activities, and 1t is rumored that u
floatation mill will be erected at
the Blue Ledge group for the treat
ment of lower grade ores as soon as
machinery can be obtained.
