Mr. Wilcox has ex ‘px(‘ssed his belief the ore will aver- age $35 a ton and assays have run as high as $500 a ton. The ore chute, which shows si feet wide and 55 feet long on the surface, has been tapped by a 550- foot horizontal tunnel dug 200 feet below the outcrop. The mine is at an elevation of 1550 feet.
