Comex Unchained.
It is a Marvel comic.
Dr. Copper falsely accused of base crimes escapes Alcietrash and travels inland to Missouri in search of Nurse Silver, his long lost love who has been kidnapped by the evil Caligari, the sinister former Prime Minister of Borneo and reputed Samaratite. Dr. Copper must get Nurse Silver before Caligari sells her, slightly misused, to the Chinese smelters at Guangdong, who will melt her down and make her into door knockers. With the right amount of silver, door knockers go clang clang, or kaching, kaching, instead of thuknock thuknock and this is a sacred sound in China. Bells make them want to come to the door.
In the next exciting episode he travels thru Telluride, where there are few examples of telluride and corners Caligari at the far north camp of Bearskin Lake, where she expires, distraught at a fate worse than death, jumps from a sphalerite cliff into the waters below. Dr. Copper cannot use his super powers as sphalerite reduces him to a mere mortal, Bent Brass, so Nurse Silver drowns. He does dive off the 200 foot cliff in futile effort to save her, but on the way down, he notices the low sulfide environment of the stratabound mineralization and the sulfosalts and a plan begins to flash before his eyes as to how to revive Nurse Silver.
Later on he sits upon a bearskin and contemplates his inspiration to revive Nurse Silver by transmogrification of here effigy from the waters of the lake. Concentration ratios, low cost mining, wide stratabound widths, strike lengths as far as a man can see. But Nurse Silver. No man cares except lonely Dr. Copper. How long will be camp by the lake until men take up his song of love for the white electric angel who reflects all, and mixes only with the noble and pure? Only Dr. Copper knows. When he returns from solitude of the far north, Nurse Silver will not be far behind. Resurrected like the Lady of the Lake she will seep from the ground and stand a noble argent statue, sword in hand emblazoned 206 feet high. Later to commemorate her return, she will be melted down once again, and made into drinking goblets, one for each man and woman in Toronto Ontario, of the finest Sterling, each one a kilo, solely for quaffing nectar of the gods.
