should with prudent mining yield $50
tons of mill feed of above value for

fifteen carefully taken samples of the
ore on the 500 level, taken at stated
distances, and representing the actual
mineral showing on that level The
assay of each sample is given in his
report, from which Mr.. Davey arrives
this ore as mined is 2 ounces silver,

This is equivalent to a net milling
