It is seldom that so impressing an array of rich copper ores ever reach this' city, the copper center that it. is, as have reached Zion from the Wcimer Copper company's ground in Idaho. This ore was received by the local management man-agement Friday, and it is on exhibition on West Second South street. Tho exhibit ex-hibit does not partake of tho usual character, that is, of small bits of ore, but consists of huge chunks of the red metal rock, the largest weighing in the neighborhood of (500 pounds. The ore is characteristic of what the Weimcr property is capable of producing. produ-cing. It is practically the samo as the company is now sending to the market, tempered as it must be with lesser grades on account of the fact that no sorting is made to make up the ship, ments. The largest rock will nverngo above 50 per cent red metal, as one is only too willing to believe when he s3es tho ore for himself. The Wcimer property prop-erty is rapidly coming inlo public notice, no-tice, and it bids fair to be one of tho great copper mines of the Wost. Salt Lakers, ever on the alert to take hold of copper propositions, arc in tho Weimcr Copper compnny saddle, and that success will follow their efforts goos without saying.
