| Named for the copper taken from the nearby mountain. (Annals of Wyoming 14:3) Ghost remnants of a way station of early mining days, named for copper taken from the nearby mountain. Most of the copper ore taken from the mine was of carbonate and sulpuret, the latter sometimes very rich in both copper and silver, yielding as high as 60 percent of the former, as high as 500 ounces per ton of silver.
