Two other veins were struck in the two levels before
reaching the main vein and much work was done on them. They
describe horseshoe turns, range from flat to vertical,,and pinch
and swell. On rolls thicknesses of over 10 feet were obtained,
but in the main the veins are less than 2 fcet, and commonly less
than 1 foot, wide. Where they continue in a vertical direction
they are in most places much split up and attempts to trace them
laterally have in most places revealed a pinching out. Besides
the larg&@ veins there are many irregular masses and stringers of
quartz. Sulphide content in the quartz seems to be more sparse in
the lower level than above.

A small mill was built on the property. Little work has

been done in recent years.

are on the southwest slope of Kitsalas mountain. The rocks are
mainly massive, green volcanics, but on the lower slopes they are
cut by intrusives which include the older ealbite-ric> granitic
rocks, the young andesine granodiorite, and possibly other diorites,
thus representing rocks of two and possibly three or more distinct
ages. The rocks are much faulted in places. Mineralization of
several different kinds is scattered over the slope. Work in many
places shows the deposits to be either cmall and irregular or to
be close to granitic rocks into which they do not, or are unlikely
to, continue. There are some gold-bearing quartz-sulphide veins
similar to those found elsewhere associated with the albite-rich
granitic intrusives. Copper deposics both with low and high gold
values also occur. Some of these may be related to the young

granodiorite, whereas others are similar to those on the Treadwell
