rest assured that there is enough ore
in sight to keep the mill working for
a year continuously.
The breast of one of TIE levels on
the Atlantic Cable property is now
filed with the finest grade of zinc ore
ever discovered on that property. This
ore was very recently encountered and
has the appearance of being OF exten-
sive dimensions.
