SURVEY BULLETIN IS
USEFUL TO ENGINEERS

As an incidental feature Of its topo-
graphic mapping IN the state OF Colorado,
the United States geological survey mas
established bench marks that have been
found OF inestimable value by engineers
and others who arc required to havo
knowledge OF the exact elevation of the
locality al which their starting points
are founded From 1896 to 1910, inclusive,
the geological survey marked more than
1900 exact elevations in the state, These
datum points have been marked by
means of tablets caps on iron posts EN-
bedded IN the ground or small metal
disks driven into trees, posts. etc, the
number stamped with steel dies on the
bench marks representing the elevations
TO the nearest foot as determined by the
levelnan.
Bulletin 1856. which has been issued by
the survey, describes these datum points
and gives their exact elevations to the
thousandth of a foot For instance. the
datum point OIL the highest point OF
Pixies peak Is described as follows:

Some Rich Ores.

Assays show that the value OF ore
taken from q depth OF fifteen feet
has nearly doubled compared with
those at the surface But even this
ore still shows extensive teaching.
and 1t will probably necessitate
depth of at least fifty feet TO deter
mine the average tenor of the ore
values. Assays running several nun
dred dollars a ton were obtained from
different parts OF the vein from
picked samples. Considering tho
enormous size OF the vein, and con-
sequentY the more or less varying
qualities OF Individual shoots. the
vein should supply n medium grade
ore running from SO to Sl5 TO the
ton.
