Superintendent, Ledgerwood of the Four
Aces writes from Silver City that there
is Continued improvement in the mine as
development work progresses, and that
in the bottom of the shaft the pay streak
of steel galena ore has widened to ten
inches. while accompanying this high
grade mineral. there is a 14-inch body OF
iron pvrites which shows assay values
of from 10 to 20 per cent lead and 40
ounces in silver to the ton. Near the sur
face this pyritic ore carried little or no
value. and the fact that il is now be-
ginning to carry the precious metals is
considered to be more encouraging than
that the body Of steel galena has been
encountered. as this indicates, without
doubt. the existence of large bodies of
pay rock in the near vicinity.
