It did Jiot come I j j unexpectedly, as another and similar ' j ', .find was made some lime ago, but of- ; 4 j ; 'Ttcials of the company, though certain jrj ', that the ore would appear, feel delight- jjj . ". fid and confident that their two mouths ' ' of hard work in endeavoring to prove ,! X uj their lost ore body have not proven ', in vain. fill I The valuable ore in the Tetro, becauso 4 of which a few dividends were paid ,J - several years ago, lies in the Godiva' III , '.' shoot, and in the Godiva limestone. In if v t.ha Tetro, though extremely wide, the III ore suddenly gavoout on the 200-foot i imi level. Experts who cxamiued the mine ! ill t were confident that the mineralising ; 111 s , - solutions had entered the beds throurrh fl! jj 1 a. fissuro parallel to the contact of the B i . propliyry and the granite and that the H !ji v continuation of the ore shoot would be Mi; - found on this fissure in the vicinity, of ' 1 1' the point where the strike was reported R l If. Tuesday mornjng. The ore body was Ifi L- not faulted, but the mineralizincr solu- j a lion which deposited the ore is sup7 posed to have entered the limestone ; j J through an old fissure. Hence, by Col-, Col-, ; I lowing this fissure, the officials havo ; i i again found thou ore. Whether the ' ; (ire will prove to be a mass similar to i I i I that removed above the 200 level a 3 j few vears ago, or whether tho ore will m !" V. simply be a pocket in the fissure is not Jl i j "known at the present time. On.e mining J ; expert, who is familiar with tho sil.ua- ' j1, tion, expressed the opinion that the oro ) " I wo.nld make big because' the contact j , was so near. j As found, however, there is simply I a mass of lead ore exposed in the bot- L ; torn of tho drift. No assays have been ,Hj reported on the ore up to the present 'H - time. Humor has it that the ore will W run high in lead, while the silver and f l r f co' conl?l,k lrt' known because 1 W(S ) .of the general inability to recognize ; lij : just what amount of these valuable ,Mf, metals may bo found in an ore. |
