stripped for 290 foot and above this section is opened by six cuts

for $90 fect farther through a vertical range of about 250 feet.

This stretch of 680 feet shows widths of the well-mineralized part

up to 8 foct and probably averages 4 to 6 feet. Wall-rock

alteration and slight mincral impregnation on either side increase

the width of the zone in places to 40 foot. Toward the upper ond

of the 680-foot section the mineralized zone appears to becone

less. Tho next cut 110 feet farther along the strike of the vein

shows 40 feet of altered rock with three fairly well~rusted zones.

As yet it is not showm that a well-mineralized section occurs in

this cut. Beyond in the valley of Henderson creek, about 75 fect

lower, there are numerous fractures on the projection of the

strike of the vein and some show altered wall-rock. Over a width

probably in excess of 100 feet there are a number of well-

mineralized stringers and one zone 12 inches wide with bands of

similar widths on either side of somewhat less-mineralized, altered
wall-rock. Some distance above Henderson creek the deposit is

again visible in an extensive steep rock exposure. Here there is

a zone of 4 feet of well-defined parallel fractures, which contains 4
a well-mineralized part about 6 inches wide with relatively little :

wall-rock alteration. In 30 to 40 feet the deposit pinches to 4

inch and a little farther on at the limit of exposed rock the
fracture zone is much less pronounced. In the upper section

it thus appears that the deposit is badly split up and tends to
pinch out with the failure of the fracture zone in which it occurs.
As all exposures on the lower part of the deposit are limited in

the main to narrow trenches it is possible that the mineralized

zone may be wider as is the case in the valley of Henderson creck,
The depth gained in the creek valley does not appear to suggest

improvement of conditions dovmivard.
