Two gangs are made or Mormons, amounting to over 400, many of whom ore related. An) how, they form a flourishing community of their own, ond hang together as tho mns( reliable workers. The contractor savs he tins already paid oh 100 men, who have quit the Job. but none, nf the Mormons have left. They nro stayers, like Gallagher's dog. ' AHOUT COPPUH. Owing to tho present low price of copper tho blej Ludwljr smelter, over in Mason valley, L)on counly, has shut down for the present, and will not resume re-sume operations until the piiro of copper cop-per advances, ns the company cannot piolltnbly ptodiico It at present prices. A force of miners, however, nro kept nt work further developing tho mine and expoilnif the available oro bodies against tho heller time coming. At Oolconda and other points, copper mining mi-ning goes uloug as usual, hy reusnn of tho large percentage of gold rontnlnej In tho oro The Ludwlg Is unfortunate 111 that icspect. conUlnlnc n. leaser percentage of gold than any other copper cop-per mine In tho State not enough to bo worth mentioning. Many of tho ropper mines of Nevada were worked years ago as gold and sliver mines, un-(11 un-(11 thn base ores were strurk, which nocpssltulod nneltlng, und copper he-camo he-camo tho principal pioduct, with gold und silver us byproducts.
