other sections of the property free gold is present and has been
recovered by small mills. The main mine workings are on three
veins that lie rather close to one another. Company samplings
give returns for the ore shoots of 0.6 ounce in gold. Develop-
ment work has been confined to a very small part of the area
kown to contain veins. The mill has hardled 30 tons a day; its
rated capacity is 50 tons, and a concentrate assaying 5.25 ounces
of gold a ton is secured by flotation.

The veins that are related to the albite-rich granitic
rocks extend from within this material out into the bordering
volcanic rocks. Most of the veins are widest and richest near
the contact and away from it diminish in width and richness. In
the volcanic rocks they are for the most part straight and
regular, but where they cut albitite dykes or other albite-rich
intrusives they pinch and are less regular.

Work on the Valhella showings has shown that veins in
the albite-rich granitic rocks do not carry gold in appreciable
amounts and what values there are diminish rapidly in the
direction away from the contact, both along the striie and down
the dip. The veins are made up of quartz carrying pyrite and in
most cases some molybdenite and chlorite which in this locality
generally indicates the lack of important gold values. On the
Golden Crown group veins in the granitic rocks carrying gold
indicate that locally the mineralized zone may extend into the
granitic rocks, but probably not very far. On the Valhails and
Kleanza groups the veins have been traced upward and observed to
pinch out. From the available data it is concluded that the
valuable parts of the veins are in the main confined to a zone
of 2 few hundred feet which in places may extend to as much as
1,000 feet and that the upper limit of this zone roughly parallels

the contact between the albite-rich granitic rocks snd the
