zinc in the entire region was that
of Aylor's at the southeast edge

Figuring that this ore was once
worth S50 or better and the
market is now close on to $30,
depreciation of £40,000 in 2,000
tons is manifest. It is said
that Aylors have no intention of
selling, however, till the market
pur-! mounts up again. Before the
