On the Duthic property there are two other veins,
Ashman and Gill. The Ashman is similar to the Henderson, but is
shorter, narrower, and not so rich in silver, though there was
an improvement at depth. On the Mill level this vein yielded

some productive stopes. The Gill vein was discovered late in the

mining history of the property.

5,000 to 3,500 fect on the mountain slope. Both have been
developed to a considerable extent and a small amount of ore

was sorted out. One has been traced for 800 feet and may
continue as a smaller vein for 400 feet or more. This vein in
places is 2 feet wide, but for the most part is narrower. The
other probably is smaller. The better grade materials in the
veins show gold 0.2 ounce to 0.76 ounce a ton, which is comparable
‘with the ore of the Mamie and it is probably associated with the
arsenopyrite. Galena is the most abundant mineral. Silver occurs i}
with the galena and consequently is high, ranging up to 50 ounces i /
with one assay of 129.4 ounces. Gold, silver, lead, and zinc are ny
all high in some places, but silver and lead may be low where gold
is high. |

showed: gold, trace, silver 3.6 ounces a ton; copper 0.8 per
