Comment (Deposit): WORKINGS ARE ON A N15E FISSURE WHICH DIPS 65W, CARRYING SMALL SEAMS OF IRON AND COPPER WHICH WIDEN IN PLACES TO 2 OR MORE FT. ORE HAS ALSO BEEN MINED FROM A BRECCIATED ZONE IN THE FOOTWALL OF THE INCLINED SHAFT, OPENINGS IN WHICH ARE STILL SHOT WITH VEINLETS OF IRON AND SECONDARY COPPER. ORE OCCURS MAINLY AS SECONDARY CONCENTRATIONS OF COPPER FILLING THE FISSURE AND THE BRECCIATED LIMESTONE FORMATIONS. ORE IS CHIEFLY COPPER WITH SOME GOOD SILVER AND LEAD.
