Germansen Bend Showings

The Germansen Bend showings comprise the Mother Lode
group and Flagstaff claim. The former lies on both sides of
Germansen River where it bends in a wide arc from northeast
to northwest. The river cuts across a band of carbonate-quartz-
chlorite-mariposite rock containing several quartz veins, the
widest being 5 feet. The veins consist of milky white quartz
sparsely mineralized with tetrahedrite and chalcopyrite. A

The Flagstaff claim joins the Mother Lode group on
the downstream side. It could not be examined in 1944 because
a landslide had covered the showing, but is reported to consist
of several small quartz veins in sheared andesite. Mineralization
is similar to that on the Mother Lode. A sample of selected.
mineral assayed: gold, 0.10 ounce to the ton; silver, 18 ounces

Berthold Property

The Berthold claims lie half a mile south of Boulder
Creek and are owned by B. Macdonald of Manson Creek. They are
underlain by grey, argillaceous quartzite of the Wolverine
complex intruded by a dyke of hornblende trachyte. The showing
consists of a silicified fracture zone, 10 feet wide, mineralized
with fine-grained pyrite and minor amounts of galena. The
fracture zone is near a probable branch of the Manson fault zone.
Assays. indicate 0.01 to 0.06 ounce of gold a ton and 6 to 13
ounces of silver a ton.
