veins that occur IN sedlmentary and

the older deposits are but poorly rep
resented and have yielded only a
small output, but one Of the younger

rich, yielding much ore averaging $50
a pound. During the early period Of
activity a few thousand tons Of low
grade ore, assaying about 500 a ton

tional mine, but the ore shipped aver
aged about $4,000 a ton In gold hav-

remainder being silver. Cinnabar was
found in one Of the veins.
Native gold Is found principally In
the rich shoot Of the National vein.
the isolated position Of which, in dis
trict Of quartz-stibnite veins poor in
gold and silver, Is remarkable. The
several veins appear to belong to the
same epoch Of naturalization, the gold
shoot being a local development upon
one Of the normal stibnlte veins. The
gold shoot was encountered 40 feet
below the surface and has been fol-
lowed on the dip Of the vein for 500
feet, the stope length reaching $50

to the pound, occurred mostly IN an
