ORE BODIES AND ORE. .
The: ore ir.:i;ha property occurs in fissures in the quartz
monzonite porphyry,. which fissures as far ae determined do
not extend into the shale or alate.• Oro has been produced
from some fourteen or Pifteon.different fissures vrhich are
more or lase parallel and strike tJ.44 degrees E. and dip
to the north west at a. very small angle from the vertical.
The principal value of this ore is in Fold and while
some very rich ore has been produced from the diffoi'ent
fissures it ie the hope of the present operators to obtain
a general average value of four dollars per ton.
The values undoubtedly occur in the oxidized and quartz
streaks throughout the•porphyry.
