Much of this was flux, etc., but tho average.grado of hoatfy sulphide
ore was: Gold, .30 oz, Silver, 12 oz, Lead 4$, Zinc, 7$.
This varies with tho printed rocord, however, the writer can explain
this variance as he actually operated tho property.
ORE POTENTIAL;
Tho ore potential makes the property very attractive. At least
two locations in the immediate vicinity of tho camp should yield one-
large and one meduim sized oro bodies with very low cost development.
Ore bodies are at the junction of shoar zones with results, and with
a reasonable amount of drilling it should not bo vory difficult to
quickly develop sufficient ore to operate tho 100-ton mill which
is owned by the company.
ECONOMICS.
The mine is a very cheap property to operate. The total local costs
under one 140 day operation, using diesol and water power, were
$4.25 per ton. Today the- profit ratio (gross) would bo 30$ to 50$
on heavy sulphide oro.
CHARACTER OF ORESs
Mainly those are divided into throe classes:
(1) Heavy Sulphides clean oro, .5 Gold, 20 oz Silver, 20$
Comp,
Load and Zinc,'
(2) Secondary Silver, .2 Gold, 30 oz Silver,, 80$ Silica.
(3) Gold Copper Ore. 1 oz Gold, 2$ Copper.
Those are rough figuros.
FUTURE:
It is of particular note that Gold values increase (and silver decrease
with depth. One block of oro • several thousand tons « in an ox~
pssure of the batholithic rock averaged 1
0
0 oz Gold, 20 oz Silver
and 2$ Copper. Individual specimans would run up to 30 oz Gold,
