"In conclusion, summing up the evidence both field and theoretic, there [are] very good reasons for believing that the deposits which have been worked and are not being worked are not the only deposits of magnitude in the county but by intelligent prospecting along lines already suggested other large and valuable deposits will be found. From the manner of the ores concentration it is not to be expected that every deposit will have a surface outcrop neither is it probable that every depression will be found to contain an ore deposit but when these phenomena occur, together with other evidences of mineralization, the condition at least warrents [sic] the expense of prospecting by pits or otherwise" – p. 17.
