however, indicate that the mill

Until recently. prospecting for ore
deposits has mostly been carried
out by magnetic and electrical
methods, but new Improvements
have made it possible to adapt also
the principles of seismic and crawl
metric methods. Under favorable
conditions. it is now quite possible
by carefully carried out electrical,
seismic, and gravimetric measure
ments to calculate the approximate
mass of an ore body and thus, par
ticularly if the body is partly de-
veloped through a few test pits or
drill holes. an approximate idea of
the tonnage can be obtained.
