ANCIENT COPPER MINES.
TO BE REOPENED SHORTLY. (British Official Wireiess.) RUGBY, Oct. 29. It is announced that the copper mines at Pary’s mountain, in the island of Anglesey, are shortly to be reopened, and many unemployed men will be engaged. New veins of copper have been discovered showing a yield of thi-ee and a half per cent. The Anglesey copper mines began to be' worked during the Roman occupation of Britain, but the industry really dates from 1750. Records show that more than £7,000,000 was. paid' in dividends- from the working of these mines. The special attention of mining experts was drawn to the abandoned mines some four years ago, and after a. m-blon ged investigation the potential value of the copper areai has been demonstrated.
