Rarely do miners find near to
the surface such rich orr, for 4103.5"
per toil, ehrnply mined, is a delight
fully inspiring output. It is aUo be-in-;
demonstrated from dnv t day
that the deeper the miners in the

is the history of real !r.imw.

T!ie eonmiittee nppointed by Ihe
Copper league to interview the coun

doubt in the collective mind of the
lenuo membership that the county
court will respond promptly.
When that shall have been done, the
league will set the dav for the work.
Immediately following that event,

As stated by pnr-lien'l miners of
national repute in recent interviews,
the transportation problem must be
included in the solution of the prop

That an immense area of rich min
