the 5-foot dyke and is exposed for a length of 15 feet with a maximum
breadth of 5 feet. This body seems to extend for 35 feet farther, with a
width never greater than 15 feet. At its west end the elevation Is 305
feet above sea-level. The magnetite thus occurs-at intervals over a length
of 70 feet and a maximum breadth of 15 feet. Possibly the various
outcrops belong to one mass now separated into several by the 5-foot
dyke. The deposit varies from nearly pure magnetite to country rock
sparingly impregnated with magnetite. It is reported that 100 feet.
farther along the gully and 150 feet higher, there is a body of magnetite 10
feet by 20 feet.

No. 2 occurrence is 1,200 feet south of the lower end of the main valley.
At this place, commencing at an elevation of 560 feet at the foot of the
west valley wall, a rust-stained zone, several feet wide and carrying con-
siderable disseminated magnetite, is traceable westward several hundred
feet up the steep slopes.

No. 8 occurrence is 1,900 feet south of the lower end of the valley,
where at an elevation of 840 feet at the brink of the second falls is visible
a 5-foot zone carrying pyrite and magnetite. The iron oxide occurs
disseminated and aggregated in small patches. It is reported that several
hundred feet farther upstream, magnetite outcrops at two places with
widths up to 10 feet.

No. 4 occurrence consists of a number of isolated ‘showings’ along
the course of a small stream which, flowing from the west, joins the main
stream about 2,600 feet from its mouth and at an elevation of 1,130 feet.
Two hundred feet up the tributary stream magnetite is exposed over two
areas of several square feet, which lie close to one another on the opposite
sides of the stream. One hundred and fifty feet upstream a clearing
commences at an elevation of 1,430 feet and extends west up the slope for
an horizontal distance of 160 feet and to an elevation of 1,530 feet. A
number of bodies of magnetite outcrop over this clearing; their approxi-
mate sizes and relative positions are indicated in Figure 10. The most
easterly and lowest outcrop is an oval area measuring about 20 feet by
50 feet, stained red at the surface and occupied by magnetite, varying in
grain from fine to coarse, with partings of nearly barren rock and much
pyrite in disseminated grains and filaments. Forty feet west, higher up
the mountain side, is an oval area measuring 10 feet by 15 feet. It is red
stained and towards the centre is nearly solid magnetite, but approaching
its edges is of rock impregnated with magnetite. Pyrite is comparatively
abundant.

Ten feet southwest is a partly exposed body which seems to be triangular
of outline and to measure 20 feet by 20 feet. The outcrops are reddish,
pyrite is rather abundant, and the marginal parts are of rock impreg-
nated with magnetite. Tifty feet west is a fourth outcrop. It is poorly
exposed, but may be circular in outline with a diameter of 17 feet. Twenty
feet west are outcrops belonging to a fifth mass which may measure
30 by 45 feet. Twenty feet west of this is a triangular body measuring
20 by 35 feet. This sixth and last group of outcrops may be a part of
the fifth mass, for the intervening exposures are of magnetite and magne-
tite-impregnated rock. There is not a sufficient number of outcrops
to permit of definitely determining the limits of the various mineralized
areas, but the available information strongly indicates a distribution
such as is shown in Figure 10.
