New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-04-13

An official CODY of the report recently made by
has been given TO THE TRIBUNE. The report in its
main features corresponds with tho abstract printed
in this column two weeks ago. Mr.. Raymond SAYS
Having examined every exposure OF ore within
the area described. and made allowance for the
ground removed in slopes and drifts, for the yaria
tons in thickness and richness OF ore, and
the proportion of iron-stOne not sent to
the smelteTs,-I place the amount OF ore
in these reserves at 100000 tons, worth Mt
snelters prices according to the average OF 1900
tons already Sold say $50 per ton net. 100000
IL this estimate falls far below the Hypothetical
value calculated heretofore, is nevertheless in my
judgment, large enough t. Justify me III c9ngratu-
latinR the company upon the possession OF bonanza
containing, with reasonable certainty. so great q
value. and presenting at the same time so many
probabilities aud indications of further extension"
