MAY LEAD TO COPPER DEPOSIT Nugget Found Near Lafayette Is Pure and Search Contiues. Lafayette, Ind., March 22.—Prof. Percy N. Evans, head of the chemistry department at Purdue university, has examined the copper nugget found by Albert Kaiser on the Buck farm a few days ago, and has pronounced it native copper. Professor Evans says that the nugget is undoubtedly from some vast deposit of the mineral. He it is not at all certain, however, that the mineral bed from which the nugget was torn loose by action of the elements is on or near the Buck farm. The nugget is mixed with gravel and seems to have been scraped and ground as if carried a great distance. He found that the chunk contained eleven pounds of pure copper. The copper is similar to that found north of the Great Lakes and it is possible that ages ago it was carried down tp this point by glacial action. Kaiser found it in the bed of a small stream. It may have lain there for centuries, having been imbedded in soil that was later washed away. If other nuggets are found in the locality, Professor Evans says, it may indicate that the main body of copper ffr>m which they come may be close at hand. A search will be made in the vicinity in the hope of finding other nuggets. • Subscribe for The Democrat.
