Show A UK H STRIKE. A rich strike was made in the Surprise Sur-prise by Adams & Son, about a fortnight fort-night ago. A rich ledge of copper ore was uncovered which will average about 40 per cent pure copper although some of it will run up as high as 70 per cent. The vein is about two feet thick and the owners feel jubilant over the discovery. The property lies about twenty-two miles from this city and is only one of many that will lie big producers pro-ducers when the railroad strikes this section. It is uncertain yet whether the owners will erect a smelter or not. It is estimated that if a railroad should come to St. George, two or three carloads car-loads at least of good paying copper ore would be loaded up every day. a |
