located in various sections of the property. Im i¢54 a mili was
erected and mining and milling operations were commenced. Most
of the ground covered by the property is heavily wooded and rock
is poorly exposed.

There are a large number of quartz veins. most of them
being less than 3 feet wide and none wider than 95 feet. Meany over
most of their length are too narrow to be workable, but in places
some of these increase to widths of 1 to 3 feet. The veins for
the most part strike aorth and dip east at angles of 30 degrees to
60 degrees. They appear to occur along fractures somewhat of the
nature of joints that in places have been subjected to considerable

shearing. In places, instead of single veins, the avartz forms a

zone of stringers.
The metallic minerals present in the veins are pyrite

and minor quantities of other sulphides. In the main workings on

the Valhalla group the gold, so far as is lmovm, occurs em

with the pyrite, and no free gold nas been noted, but in veins on
