output from this source alone amounted to 10863110 the tonnage shipped to this market showing from 20 to 30 per cent copper If there has been any doubt concerning the continuity of these chutes to the deep this doubt has all been dissipated by developments in this bonanza The production of gold too showed an increase and afforded the company 57198 while the gross value of the lead was 5117500 and that of the silver 58SJS8 The present year will be largely devoted to reducing the sine contained in the ores to a source oC revenue Manager Phllo T Farns worth who with expert assistance made Measurements of the zinc ores and zinc talllrigs found that they contained con-tained metals of the value of over 57 000000 This IK too much to be wasted and so their treatment has been decided
