approximately 10 miles long runs from Rosswood at the north end of
Kitsumgallum lake to Cedar River crossing and a good pack-horse
trail along the telegraph line leads from there to the property. There
is a cabin beside the trail and the mineral showings are 200 feet
above it at an elevation of 1,050 feet on the gentle southeast slope of
Belway mountain. The claims were first staked in 1913 and have been
known successively as the Iona, Silver Dollar and Silver Coin, and Silver
Plate and Silver Cup groups. In 1926 the Hopper Davis Syndicate sank a
20-foot shaft and shipped some high-grade ore. The present owners are
Clarence Giggy, Donald Bruce, and partners, of Terrace.

Figure 2. Plan of part of Silver Plate and Silver Cup group.

Silver, lead, zinc, and copper-bearing minerals occur in quartz veins
and in brecciated zones in argillite and impure sandstone. The sediments
strike about north 20 degrees east and dip from 55 to 65 degrees northwest.
The deposit is under a heavy covering of drift and has been exposed by
trenches at intervals for 150 feet along its strike. No intrusive rocks were
seen in the vicinity.
