CONTINUATION OF RECENT
MINING ARTICLES FOR AL
ASKA PROSPECTORS
; SAMPLING BY ERNEST N. PATTY
DEAN OF THE ALASKA COL
LEGE
A mining engineer scouting ior a |
imining comnany, learning of the!
I high grade strike on the Pauper’s
Bream vein, had paid Lrrry and j
i Jack a visit to look over tlieir pros
pect two weeks before. He hml 1
oarr fully sampled the vein as ex
posed in the tunnel and had prom
red to send them his assay results.
Nr is had been to town and had
dust h’-ought their mail up to the,
'cabin Jewry and Pack wore puz
■ - the bine print wl ich the
r «;ont them. T. shov d a
sueich map of their tunnel with
ilie assay values and vein widths
plotted at the points along the tun
nel where the samples were cut out
from the vein.
i “That engineer didn’t give us any ;
|*.he best of it by his sampling,”
;there was a trace of anger in Jack’s !
voice. “If these engineers had to
develon these prospects from day to
day I’m thinking they wouldn’t be
iso cold-blooded when it comes to
cutting a sample. His figures show
an average of $18 per ton for the
vein along the entire length of the
tunnel and an average of S4G since
we struck the shoot of high-grade.
I’ll bet he didn’t get any more gold
I into his samples than he could
help. Now look at his sample No.
17 which shews an assay of $86—
jf.hst is close to the point where we
got that high-grade specimen that
assayed better than $2,000 to the
ton. How do you explain that?”
“But. Jack, you remember that
the high-grade specimen we sent in
for av-say wasn’t much larger than
a walnut. You remember that we
said at the time that we would send
, it in not as sample but just out of I
curiosity as to how high it would
! assay. I’ve reached the conclusion
j that prospectors generally “kid'
j themselves by sending in picked
[ specimens for assay. When we
| start -s toping we won’t be breaking
\ out specimens to send to the mill
Ijbut we will be breaking down the
| (entire vein for mill feed. The en
ijgineer in cutting his samples was
| trying to arrive at an average of
i'ore that would go to the mill. He
| cut his samples from wall to wall
| just as we would stope it.”
\ | “Yes, you talk grand, Larry, but
[ do you remember when he was
j sampling near the raise where
I there is a two-foct rib of granite
| sandwiched in the vein? When he
i -tarted to moil across this rib of i
I waste you started hopping around
so lively that I thought you were
going to hit him on the head with
a piece of drill steel. If ever I saw
a wild Irishman you qualified.”
Larry smiled ruefully. "I was
sore alright, for I hated to see that
waste getting into the sample, i
don’t suppose tho, we would at- j
tempt to sort out that rib of waste j
when we scare mining.”
