(1) In an effort to convert copper rock into quick cash, he tried to open-pit mine the lode to extract ore as fast as possible.

(2) He draws sensitively and suggestively upon the work of Dante, Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor, mining their theological lode .

(3) Though not especially high or otherwise conspicuous, it held within its conical flanks a silver lode of extraordinary size and purity.

(4) While the recollections of participants are a lode of information, without corroborating sources, many interviews turn into self-serving pieces.

(5) Copper crystals from the conglomerate lode are rare and commonly exhibit the tetrahexahedral form.

(6) All was in readiness to start the mining of the copper lode .

(7) Because the lode proved to be barren, very little mining was done.

(8) After two months of digging in the shimmering heat of nearby Lake Torrens, only two men remained at the mine, but no lode or vein had been located as yet.

(9) His research is such a rich lode that I intend to return to ancient Indian science in a future column.

(10) The lode proved to be spotty, showing just marginal copper mineralization.

(11) A rich lode of scandal and alleged crime

(12) Thin sandstone lenses, which showed bleaching and epidotization, were present within the lode .

(13) The tin oxide was very thinly scattered within the lode

(14) Other exhibits focus on placer and lode deposits, major gold rushes, and uses of gold through the centuries.

(15) With some luck, mineralized chunks of the conglomerate lode can still be located in the dumps with the aid of a metal detector.

(16) The Butler, Evergreen, and Knowlton lodes were explored and mined to some extent.

(17) Mineralogically, the conglomerate lodes have produced many superb specimens, although they contain fewer mineral species than the fissure veins and amygdaloidal lodes .

(18) The rock layers surrounding coal lodes were penetrated and separated by drillers and explosives.

(19) Two mining companies attempted to exploit the copper lodes at different times, and both ventures ended in failure.

(20) Many miners named their lodes for places from which they had emigrated.
