14. MOUNT HASKIN

‘Two types of deposits are associated with
a small granitic stock that forms the peak
of this mountain 18-miles east of Cassiar.
Both have been explored by Della Mines over
the last 5 years. Molybdenum and tungsten
occur to the northwest and massive sulphides
in skarn containing copper, lead, zinc and
bismuth occur to the southeast. The latter
showings have been traced in two adits and

a fairly extensive deposit has been outlined:

Work is expected to continue in 1974.
15. MOUNT REED

Two deposits also occur on this mountain,
three miles southeast of Mt. Haskin. Moly-
bdenum-tungsten is found near an alaskite
dyke and a silver-lead-zinc vein occupies
a fault zone in limestone. Joe Reed
optioned these showings to Brettland Mines
and they were trenched and drilled by Glen
Copper and Pacific Petroleums Ltd.

16. JOE REED'S HILL

This well-known hazard on the Cassiar
road was, in the past, a scene of intense
placer gold activity. Between 1875 and 1900
a large colony of Chinese prospectors from
Vancouver lived at Centreville and hand
placer-mined all the bars of McDame Creek.
Extensive tailings can be seen along this
part of the creek below Joe Reed's hill.
(Please pull over to the side and stop your
car at the top or bottom of the hill).

17. CENTREVILLE

In recent years, George Zimick has
operated a small hydraulic sluice here and
recovers gold, jade and rhodonite, from
which he manufactures jewellery for the

local market.

18. MCDAME CANYON

Ventures Mining Ltd. has held this ground
for 12 years, optioned originally from John
Bartle. Erratic high grade stringers of
silver-lead-zinc sulphides occur in frac-
tures on the walls of McDame Canyon about
one mile downstream from Centreville.
Laurence Meyer lives here and operates a
unique placer operation from a barge
anchored in the canyon.

19. MOCCASIN MINES

This is better known as Bob Wilm's Camp.
A large scale placer-mining operation was
conducted here about 1947 by Moccasin Mines.
They built the first tote road from the
Alaska Highway to this location, 25 miles
from Cassiar, and this later became the
Cassiar road. Bob Wilms now holds the
placer leases and operates a sawmill here.
20. MT. PENDLETON

A large quartz vein high on the north
slope of this mountain, 3 miles south of
Centreville, contains silver-bearing
tetrahedrite. A tractor-road was put in
to the showings a few years ago, but no
recent work has been done.
21. MCDAME POST

Tournigan Mines has recently been active-
ly exploring the old Beale Carlick barite
showings, two miles east of McDame Post,
near Atan Lake. Irregular barite zones
follow fractures in Atan limestone and con-
tain erratic low-grade copper-lead-zinc
sulphides.

Another fun day was held in the Arena
on Saturday, January 26th and was verv well
attended. Exhibition games were played bv
the Pee Wee A's and B's and also by the
Bantam Hockey Teams. Manv narents were
pleasantly surprised at the vast inmrove-
ment of their boys in the game of hockev.
To the delight of all those nresent Mr.
Graham Baker and Mr. Ray Lawti (Pee-Wee) put
on a tremendous show as the Ringling Clowns
of the ice and were continually coming un
with some kind of fun gimmick, from a two
bladed hockey stick to the largest broom
ball in captivity. Thanks fellows for a
really good show! The snowmobilers once
again came awav the winners in the challenge
series of broom ball this time against the
Anglican Church Terros. The challenge is
out once again bv the snowmobilers for the
next fun night game but thev're sure that
there just isn't the kind of comnetition
available to beat them here in Cassiar and.
they may have to bring in outside teams to
make the challenge worthwhile. Illow about
it - anv challenges?

The evening of fun came to a close
with The Game of the Year in hockev which
saw the Old-Old Timers lace un their skates
and gamely went out on the ice against the
Cassiar Girls Team. The game ended in a
draw 1 - 1 but it was good to see that some
of the Old Timers could still show a snark
of talent that todays nlayers could use.
Old smoothy Bill Akev can still show voung
Ken a few tricks with the blades and Ross
Knowles showed why he was once a nro-hockev
plaver. Would be nice to see them get
organized and nlay a bit more repular. (llow
about it fellows?) But if vou do tell Steve
that his stick has to meet repulation size.

The night was finished off with nublic
skating for all to enjov. This writer
hones that this tyne of activitv is kent un
and nossiblv exnanded as so manv seem to
get much enjoyment out of it. Anv sugges-
tions would be greatlv annreciated bv the
Arena Rink Association.
