Did you know? In all surveys the importance and the accuracy of con- ducting the work should be directly proportional. The great value of our mineral deposits and their limited extent war- rant and demand the greatest care in establishing boundaries and in conducting underground surveys. An example of this fact is often seen in errors in surveying lode claims. A foot increased length on the line of a lode three feet wide and con- taining ore worth twenty-five dollars a ton, (fifteen cubic feet per ton) represents for each thousand feet in depth on the lode a value of five thousand dollars.
