Hillsboro mines and prospector notes push for new finds
The Advocate reports on Hillsboro quartz placers yielding gold and copper rich ore at shallow depth, with surface pay streaks and deeper workings down to 600 feet. It details ore composition, copper and silver contents, past productions from Bonanza and Wehmend mines, and the need for better milling, water, and concentrators. It covers Sierra, Kingston, Chloride, and Lake Valley districts, copper lead silver showings, and new discoveries on Drifillo and Terra Blanca creeks. It notes prices, potential outputs, and the promise of leasing and modern plants to boost profitability amid rising copper prices.
