Deposit ON ORIGINAL ENTRY, THE FOLLOWING DATA WERE RECORD DISTANCE TO LAST POINT OF COMMON CARRIER- 2 KILOMETERS , DI TO ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY- 1 KILOMETERS , DISTANCE TO POWER 10 KILOMETERS. RECORD 151/ ORIGINAL DATA INDICATES THAT 99 PERCENT OF THE O PROCESSED BY GRAVITY AND 5 PECENT IS PROCESSED BY PROCESS LE METHODS. COPPER IS 60 PERCENT RECOVERABLE BY THESE METHODS. RECORD 151 COLS 55-60/ 1 PERCENT MILLFEED SHIPPED AS CONCENT RECORDS THAT FOLLOW PERTAIN TO 1977 REVIEW. RECORDS 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 TAKEN FROM ALABAMA GEOL.SURV TRACT RECORDS AND REFERCE RECORDS 702 AND 703 ADDED. THE MATRIX TONNAGES AND GRADES ARE TAKEN FROM THE ALABAMA GE EY CONTRACT RECORDS. HOWEVER,THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS DEP THE WAR MINERALS FILE ON COPPER. REF.RECS. 703-704 DOES NOT THE DEPOSIT EITHER IN THE SECTION ON OTHER DEPOSITS IN VICIN STONE HILL DEPOSIT.
