Copper Mining at Esterbrook Creates Local Boom Hope
The Douglas Budget reports J. C. and W. A. Saul, once Converse county cattlemen, have spent thousands to develop a copper mine four miles northeast of Esterbrook into a high grade paying proposition and will ship ore to the Glenda smelter starting early next year. Assays suggest ore could net about 20 per ton above costs. The Saul brothers have 22 claims in one body, and a strong shipment could trigger a mining boom for Esterbrook in the coming months.
