The proposition tnat of-! fercd there was the extracting of ( good gold values from Ihe; quartz' . This could be done with small mill outfits and, in some places where transportation was immediately al hand, Hie ore could be shipped. If. the mineral, was found in nuantily. there j might even be the possibility ot company operations on a largo scale.
