This system works admirably, and now enormous returns are secured from these very inaccessible mines. The ore averages from $50 to $03 per ton, in silver, the resulting bars from $260 to $300 per ton. The veins are wide, and the ore occurring in large lenticular-shaped masses trending to the southward; so far as known the supply is inexhanstible. Notwitstanding the expensive freights, the mines are made very remunerative. The cost of transportation to Los Angeles, California, is $55 per ton; thence to San Francisco $20 per ton; thence by Pacific Mail Steamship Company to Newark, New Jersey, at an additional expense of $25 per ton. It was found to be more profitable on account of the higher percentage of silver from the bullion, and the increased price obtained for the lead to ship to Newark, paying the extra expense, rather than to have the refining done in San Francisco. This is only one proof out a number that can be cited, showing the advantage of large establishments where skilled labor can be concentrated, by means of which a still higher and higher percentage can be extracted from rebellious ores, which is a matter of so great necessity, especially in ores of low grade.
