The Capelton Hillson which are situated the Capelton and Eustis copper mines werefirst exploited for their gold and, while copper may have beenfound in small quantities, it was as gold mines that the propertywas taken up. It would therefore seem within the limits of pos-sibility that if these are not proven to be important discoveries ofgold in rock, they may lead to the opening of copper mines aswas the case at Capelton. The gold values in the Capelton Hillsin the first opening were considerable, but the gold decreasedand the copper relatively increased, and we have these two longlived mines which have been in operation for over thirty years.
