The new ore zone is producing ore with a content of about a half of an ounce of gold a ton. this has boosted the overall average of gold per ton at Trixie to three-tenth- s of an ounce. The former average was fifteen hundredths of an ounce. Silver content remains at about an average of eight ounces a ton, Mr. Hunter reported. The half-ounaverage in the new ore zone does not reflect the ce highest grade encountered.
