If reports emanating from Cove

per discovery In .Warm cfeeK, not rar
from Cove, about a month ago, is not
without considerable wealth. Speci-
mens have been brouKht to Cove from
the prospect holes and those who ure

discovery of rich ropper propertie:-
ire considerably excited, Parties frc
iii. ntly go to lh" prospect hole and
ct inn even more enthusiastic than
they went.
As to the t-xtcnt and wealth of the
lllid-, ther-ls some diversion of opin
flnd. there Is some difference of opin
ion, many believing that the property
is not sufficiently extensive to warrant
further prospecting. Not withstanding
this, workmen at-.- devoting time and
attention to the hole that for a time
