Thompson. TOwle & Co. say: Appar-
emily the annual report OF the Girou,
Consolidated, showing $4,000 tons OF
porphyry ore averaging 1.Ss per cent
copper. was misunderstood. IN so FAR
as the figures given represented the
net recovery OF ore and not the gross
yield. 136 per cent would indicate a
recovery Of % pounds copper and coo
Ga gold and silver values per ton, and
thb places an entirely different com
plsxion on the report.
The net values OF the Giroux were
determined largely By r. NJ. Atwater,
consulting engineer Of the company,
and all figures are claimed to have
been taken upon a most conservative
basis.
A basis OF 20 per cent recovery OF the
ore would place the gross copper val
ues Of Giroux porphyry al nearly 2 per
cent. on a basis OF n pounds Of cop
per recovery there would appear 70 be
available from the above tonnage
2e2,0OO.O0O pounds copper, and on l2hc
copper this would indicate net profits
Uf $4,000 900. or SO per share. about
what the property Is now selling in
the market.

always claimed that the real value Of
the property was in It's Alpha work

been found By the use OF diamond
