Principles of Mining Valuation, Organization and Administration Your father knew vastly more about rock than I, although I had long suspected the existence of this lode. The Gold Girl The most profitable lodes are those which have a large supply of rock, easily to be obtained, and all of it yielding something above the cost of working.

Gold Seekers of '49 As the young engineer predicted, the lode fell away to its original width, and soon ceased to carry visible gold. Picked up at Sea The Gold Miners of Minturne Creek For the independent miner, the only hope was the Big Strike, the single lode that could make him rich. Gold in the Sky The excitement over quartz lodes rapidly followed; and every spot on the mountains which showed any slight indications of auriferous quartz was claimed by the prospecters. The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 18, No. 106, August, 1866 They had not found the big lode yet, but every indication was that much to the good. Sally of Missouri Quartz is a rock that helps form a lode where the gold is carried, first, before it's crumbled out by the weather and is washed down with gravel and sand to make the placer beds. Gold Seekers of '49 The lode paid well for a while; then it fell off, and I got to longing for the sea again; so I just chucked it up, and made tracks from ‘Frisco.’ Picked up at Sea The Gold Miners of Minturne Creek He'd either have made a deal with Tawney or let him hijack the lode, if that was all there was to it.

The Confessions of a Caricaturist, Vol. 2 You dig the placer bed, but you have to use a crow-bar and powder on lodes, and break them to pieces. Gold Seekers of '49 He had traced down the outcrop of the lode, which on the surface looked poor enough, to a point near the river. Picked up at Sea The Gold Miners of Minturne Creek But always there was the lure of the Big Strike, the lode of almost-pure metal that could bring a fortune back to the man who found it.
