Copper Ore, Peru.

We have two samples of copper ore which were secured in the Andes
mountains of Peru at an elevation of 14,000 feet.

This ore was secured for us by Mr. John W. Arrington, Jr., of
Greenville. Mr. Arrington is a member of the Arrington family which
has done so much for the "Y" and for Greenville. Mr. John Arrington,
Jr., was president of the Greenville "Y" when the lodge was begun
and laid the corner stone at an impressive service during the camp
of 1928.

This photograph was taken from Ticlio, one of the world's highest stations on a standarf - guage railway. The llamas grazing in the foreground are used for carrying copper ore from the small mines in the mountains to the railroad.
