The above-described occurrences all lie on the western part of the
property. To the east, across an exposureless hollow, another set of
mineralized outcrops occur, some of which possibly are extensions of those
just described. The southernmost of the second group consists of three
isolated outcrops of magnetite distributed along a straight line over a
distance of 75 feet. At each of these, the magnetite is nearly pure and
forms vein-like bodies striking nearly due east and not less than 5 feet
wide; their true width being unknown as only one wall is exposed.
At one outcrop a strip of country rock lies within the body of iron ore.
One hundred feet to the north, magnetite is exposed at intervals over a
width of 12 feet.

The above-described occurrences lie on the southern slopes of a low
ridge. In a shallow depression to the north and 200 feet away, are the
most important showings on the property. These consist of several
discontinuous trenches and a few strippings roughly in line with one another
extending in an east and west direction. They reveal the presence
of magnetite in considerable amount over a length of 250 feet. Beyond
the limits of the artificial exposures, both across and along the direction
of strike, exposures are wanting and there is nothing to indicate how far
or under what conditions the magnetite bodies extend in these directions.

The most westerly exposures occur along a trench 60 feet long, 8 to
10 feet wide, and sunk a few feet in solid rock and ore. In the trench,
nearly pure magnetite occurs in a series of sharply defined veins striking
east and west and dipping to the south at angles differing very little from
45 degrees. The individual veins are separated from one another by
country rock, much weathered and fractured and perhaps a little altered
mineralogically. In all a thickness of about 20 feet of rock and vein
matter is exposed. Along the south side of the cut, which in places is 8
feet deep, one vein of nearly pure magnetite seems to continue the whole
distance (60 feet), with a thickness varying between 1 and 2 feet, the
variable thickness being due to minor veins splitting away from and
joining the main body. At one point in the small wall the following
section is exposed, the uppermost body of magnetite being the seemingly
continuous vein above referred to:

Along the strike some of the thinner veins die out and others gradually
diverge from or approach one another. The lowest vein is partly
concealed in the bottom of the trench, but seems to continue for some
distance, gradually diverging from the uppermost vein, so that in a distance
of 8 feet along the strike the intervening thickness increases from 27 inches
to 40 inches and nearly all the thinner veins disappear, so that the upper
and lower veins are separated by almost barren rock. Farther along the
strike, towards the west end of the trench, the lower vein seems to split
into a number of thin, diverging veins. Beneath the veins just described,
