was too high at 10000. II the world
has had another such a mine, history
failed TO record It.
As stated before. two Lodges run
through the length OF three claims, a
quartz ledge and a tale ledge They
dip about So degrees TO the west The
quartz ledge Is IN rhyolite and the tale
ledge q contact between rhyOlite and
porphyry. The quartz ledge has
northCrly and sOuthcrlv course, while
the tale lodges trend northeasterly
and southwcsterly. They are being de-
yeloped at the point Of intersection
which no doubt accounts for the great
enrichment. Besides the veins them
selves nj this point, the entire country

tersection Is mineralized ~ FAR back as

100 feet This has "a value OF from

wide but within this width are four RIBS
aggregatng 25 feet which carry $40 val

more than 500 per ton. On the l5O-foot
level this ledge is opened up for 10 feet
