May Revive Copper Mining Near Frederick County
Copper exploration may restart near Frederick County as drilling studies begin next week on farms east of the city. American Smelting and Refining Company leads the effort with options on about 1200 acres in the New London Liberty Unionville area. Drilling on the Paul E Young farm will use a single diamond drill to samples depths up to 400 to 500 feet to gauge ore extent and tonnage. If results look promising, more rigs will operate and ore may be milled on site and shipped to Baltimore for smelting.

Mahoney Suits Dismissed in Maryland Election Plea
Circuit Judge William Horney dismissed two election contest suits by George P. Mahoney challenging the June 28 primary results. Mahoney sought to invalidate about 550 Talbot County ballots and 220 Queen Anne’s ballots, arguing for a recount. The judge ruled the court cannot compel the supervisors to withdraw ballots or perform a recount, as this authority rests with the election supervisors. Appeals are expected to be filed to the Court of Appeals in Annapolis.
