They have drifted 25 feet across the
face of the vein without finding tn
wall.
With lead at 81 Bingham ought to
demonstrate to croakers that il can
dig up as much lead ore as ever. New
ground will be developed, and while
the old carbonate product may not be
so largely in evidence, an abundance
of ore from deeper ground that under
the improved treatment methods is
wanted by the smelters will reward
those who go after it.
