Show JACKLXXG ON ELY. General D. C. Jackling of the Utah Copper companv, upon returning from an inspection- of the Ely district, spoke as follows regarding it: "I did not have time to make as much of an examination ex-amination of the different properties in the camp as I should have liked to have done, but I was amazed at what I did see. "I visited no place in the district where there has been any development work done without seeing ore: saw no place on the surface over which 1 traveled trav-eled where there was not indications of ore; and for a space of twelve to fifteen miles .square the country is such that any prospector would be justified in searching for mineral. I never saw any-think any-think like it in my life before and I never expect to again. ' Taking the whole district together I consider it better than 'Bingham; but taking the developed units in the camp as a basis there is nothing to compare with the tonnage developed in the Utah Copper and some of the other Bingham mines. 'The ores in tbeCopper Flat portion of the camp are very similar to the ores of Bingham but at the Ruth the ores are of higher grade than at Copper Flat and they are higher grade than the porphyries of Bingham either." |
