Assay Shows Ore is Very
+ Rich In Lead and Silver
Minnesota Gas and Mineral Co. Will
Sink Another Well to Prove Ore
Ledge Extent

definitely that the Minnesota Gas
and Mineral Company have made a
strike of galena or silver-lead ore on
the Otto Drevlow tract near Round
Prairie which will be of considerable
commercial value if the tract covers
sufficient territory in depth and
breadth.
Last week samples of the ore was
forwarded to F. o. Hammer, chief
assayer for the Paragon Consolidat-
ed Mining Co., Of St. Paul. The
company received report of Mr..
Hammers findings on Monday. The
assay shows that the ore sample con-
tains S21s per cent lead and "a
ounces Of silver per ton. At the
present market prices this would
mean $79.86 for the lead and $54 90
for the silver Or a grand total of
$133.S6 per ton.
It is said that the contents of sill
yer in the ore is exceptionally large.
1t is usually considered that $25 90
worth of ore per ton makes it posi-
BILE to mine profitably. Before any
attempt is made to sink a shaft at
least one other test hole will be drill
ed to determine more definitely the
thickness and depth Of the ledge.
Work on this hole will be started i'm
mediately.
The Sank Centre men who are back
of the project and Engineer Bob NAL
