(4) Leo Bedford’s hydraulic pit on the west side of Devils Lake Creek, where,
in 1946, a 6- to 8-foot fault-zone was exposed.

(5) Through two long, straight topographic depressions extending southward
from the angle of Devils Lake Creek through the western part of Lot
10448c. These depressions were observed in several places on the ground
and are particularly noticeable in vertical aerial photographs of that
section.

(6) The fault is assumed to extend southward along the course of Perkins
Creek near the north-west corner of Lot 10743c.

(7) Through Grub Gulch hydraulic pit, where a wide fault-zone was exposed
during the course of operations in 1945 and 1946.

(8) Along Grub Gulch to the diversion-dam 800 feet below the upper Grub
Gulch ditch, where strands of it were exposed in the autumn of 1946 when
the footings of the new dam were being dug.

Small north-westerly striking faults exposed in the Estman hydraulic pit on the
upper part of Perkins Creek in the north-west corner of Lot 10734c may be branches
running off from the main fault.

A third major fault called the Butcher Bench-Burns Creek fault is assumed to run
southward from the point where the Jack of Clubs flume crosses Burns Creek to the
western end of Butcher Bench. The dip of the fault is unknown, and its direction and
amount of displacement are not determinable with any degree of certainty. If, how-
ever, the caleareous beds by the flume crossing of Burns Creek correspond to the
horizon of the limestone-beds at the west end of the Ketch pit, the indicated displace-
ment would be to the right and of the order of 2,500 feet.

The fault is projected from the flume crossing of Burns Creek, where dissimilar
rocks outcrop on the two sides of the creek through a long stretch of ground covered
by overburden to a 5-foot fault-zone exposed in the western end of Butcher Bench. No
evidence of the fault could be found in the heavily drift-covered tract between the two
occurrences. |

Small north-easterly trending faults exposed on Butcher Bench are evidently small
branch strands of the main fault.

The projection of the fault northward from Burns Creek lies less than 500 feet
east of the portal of the Bridge Island Gold Company’s adit on upper Coulter Creek.

A strong fault striking about 10 degrees west of north and dipping 50 to 70 degrees
east is exposed underground in the Foster Ledge adit on Lot 8897. This fault is
expressed on the surface by a straight, prominent steep-sided gully about 1,000 feet
long that coincides with the trace of the fault.

The Foster Ledge upper adit exposes a normal fault striking about 10 degrees east
of north, almost parallel to the formation, and dipping 50 degrees east. The lateral
displacement of the veins exposed in the adit indicates that the hanging-wall side has
moved downward about 20 feet (see section on Fig. 6).

A strong topographic break trending about 10 degrees east of north and extending
southward from the Public Works camp and to the east of Eric Rask’s small hydraulic
pit at the summit of Devils Lake Creek may follow a fault, but no geologic evidence is
available to substantiate this assumption.

Rocks are well exposed along Devils Lake Creek between the Public Works camp
and Hong’s siphon. The sections exposed along the two sides of the creek do not
correspond, despite the fact that attitudes on both sides are alike. This discrepancy
might indicate the presence of a fault trending slightly north of east, but confirmatory
evidence is lacking.

A north-easterly striking fault that dips 70 degrees to the north-west is indicated
by 2 feet of gouge exposed on the north side of Spruce Canyon. The extension of the
fault may be on Van Winkle Creek about 250 feet north of the intake of the lower
Grub Gulch ditch. Other north-easterly striking faults are exposed in Dunbar Flat
