Comments on development

  • ECON.COM: A CARLOAD OF ORE FROM SCATTERED BOULDERS AND SMALL FRAGMENTS NEAR THE BASE OF THE HILL WERE SHIPPED TO THE SLIGO FURNACE GIVING GOOD RESULTS. A CUT WAS THEN MADE FROM WHICH ABOUT 6 CAR LOADS OF ORE WERE OBTAINED. THIS ORE, WHEN SHIPPED, WAS PROMPTLY REJECTED BY THE FURNACE ON ACCOUNT OF HIGH SULPHUR. THE ORE IS SECONDARY AFTER THE SULPHIDE WHICH IS IN AN INCOMPLETE STATE OF ALTERATION.
