    3. Le Grand Advocate, Saturday, March 22, 1913 COPPER MINES Four copper mines are now being worked in the vicinity of White Rock, all shipping their ore from Le Grand. The Pocahontas mine, David Ross Manager, is the greatest producer. It has kept two 6 ton trucks busy for the past nine months hauling the ore to Le Grand During the month of February. 11 carloads of ore were shipped form Le Grand to the smelter at Selba [sic], by the Pocahontas Mine. This month it has already shipped 8 car loads and if the weather permits will ship 8 more. The White Rock mine, Jim Helm manager, will ship its first carload this month. A. E. Moutrey, running two trucks, is hauling the ore from both the Pocahontas and the Wite Rock mines. The Calhoun mine will also ship a carload of ore this month. A. W.

There is another mine, the Green Mountain mine about 7 miles south of White Rock which is being worked. It hauls its ore to Raymond for shipment. -- Thomas and Paulette Hilk 1725 Wildwood Ct.
