PROPER METHODS OF
SAMPLING ORE BODIES

BY F. £. CROSSLAND, M. E.

Secretary Vancomar Mining Club

Many people are undoubtedly
influenced to invest in mining
propositions by the rich speci-
mens that are brought out to the

spection. Specimen rock of this
kind is no criterion of the average
grade of ore upon which the suc-
cess of the mine depends,

It is most important that this

be intelligently understood and
practised. Everyone connected
with the practical part of mining
feels that there is room for im-
provement in this matter, and
the distribution of a little know-
ledge along the sampling line
may not come amiss.

‘An average sample of the com-
mercial vahie of a mine is very
difficult to obtain, and involves
much care and labor by cutting
across the lode at frequent inter-
vals, In this it differs from a
specimen, which while indicating
the nature of a mineral deposit
from a metallurgical point of
view does not give an idea of its
average commercial value,
As ore bodies vary in their

no set rules‘can be laid down; as

could not be used with any de-

samples should be taken,
In the case of a deposit of uni-
form width and continuity and
evenly distributed values such as
is often found. in the regular
sulphide ores, an interval of ten
feet will generally suffice; if ir-
regular in width, with lenses, and
pockets of strictly high grade
values, lesser intervals would be
advisable. In this latter case
extreme care ig necessary in
sampling at close ‘intervals,’ in
order to obtain accuracy in arriv-
ing at an ‘average’ value of the
whole of the lode or deposit as
the case might be,

its variations is of great assist-
ance, corcesponding marks being

and to check at the regular points

performed, which should be ac-
eurately measured and marked
out by driving pegs at the differ-
ent intervals decided upon.

Having obtained ail the data
concerning the physical aspect of
the mineralization, checking by

posit,

sample, is not half as effective as
amoil, The pick will often in-
