COPPER DISTRICT
A promising copper district in Lemhi County, Idaho, in the vicinity of Salmon is described by a geologist of the Department of the Interior in a report by Clyde P. Ross, just issued by the Geologic Survey as Bulletin 774.
Idaho is well known to mining men for its silver-lead mines and, especially in early days, for its gold placers, but its copper deposits are less famous, although copper has been produced in a number of places in the State. Some copper ore has been shipped from the Salmon district, but most of the properties are now in the development stage or are mere prospects.
When general conditions in the industry become more favorable to new development and the deposits are more adequately opened up, the district may yield a considerable tonnage of copper ore. Mr. Ross discusses the major features of the geology of the deposits and offers some suggestions to prospectors.
