tablishes the success Of New Cornelia
on the great bulk Of its deposit Very
/ high extraction is being gained at
Inspiration where DIT Ricketts, is also
the consulting engineer aud metallur-
/ gist. So that New Cornelia is having,
and will have, the very best brains in
the country in its equipping and opera
/ tion.
While New Cornell ores have been
Z generally described as low grade the
/ fact is that ores of very high grade,
running up to aud 10 per cent have
/ been found in some of the test holes
and pits, and these high grade streaks
were not taken into consideration i'm
estimating the average copper con-
! tent in the ore deposit Only the
characteristic low grade ores were
taken into the analyses. There is no
telling just what may be encountered
I'm ores Of high grade once mining
fairly sets in And the drilling re-
vealed the fact that the richest ores
were at the bottom OF some holes that
did not then penetrate entirely through
the ore body.
An interesting fact is that recently
/ the Aio Consolidated Copper company,
prospecting claims alongside of the
: holdings of the New Cornelia compa
NY has found a vein of chalcocite,
running very high in copper. which
shows the possibilities of this sec
ton New Cornelia has lot or
ground not as yet looked into. 1t has
recently purchased a lot of claims
aside from those bought from the Old
company and from which is expects
ore Of commercial kind These will
not be given attention until after the
company has placed its railway and
teaching plant in operation.
Sc faras the ore goes there's enough
now developed to give active work
for at least twenty years. il a much
greater tonnage is not revealed as
work goes on and this on the old
claim Of the company. The test that
proved the big deposit contained more
than 4O000OS0 tons did not take in
