though the ore is OF great value for

they are ore bearing from one ex-
IRENE to the other. 1t is u small spot,
a vsritable mineral oasis in the des-

IS such that sinking will be the only
method of opening the mines and
this can unlouote iiy be doue to

the best evidence of merit. aud pen

when compared with the actual bul-
lion product. There is just suffice
ground in the ore z)ne proper for one
