lode

I give you my word, Slade, this is the only mine or lode of which I know.

Your lode's about a hundred miles off yet, isn't it, Graham?

Mebbe he believes that bunk about the lode being copper, and mebbe he don't.

It took me half of the next day to locate the lode, and while I was pilin' the monuments I looked up and saw that villain, Jacks.

There are no true walls nor can the ore be traced away from the hill in lode form.

All he'd say was he'd struck a lode that was mighty nigh the pure stuff.

Your father knew vastly more about rock than I, although I had long suspected the existence of this lode.

Again, if a miner finds a rich spot in a lode, he may be doubtful as to the amount of paying rock which he can obtain.

When several faults in succession dislocate a lode, very great complications may arise.

In Huel Peever this vexatious phenomenon occurred, and it was not until after a search of forty years that the lode was recovered.
