Under manager F J French three carloads of high grade ore from the Blue Jacket mine were sold locally to John C Griffiths for Chicago refiners. First class ore yielded about 28 percent copper with gold and silver values roughly eight dollars per ton. a second class at 22.7 percent copper carried similar metal values. French called it a market test against New York and noted the mine is in fine condition with ore averaging eight percent on the dump awaiting handling facilities.
