Theda Bara and Bebe Daniels Claims (Locality 189)

1924, and 1927,

The Theda Bara and Bebe Daniels claims probably include what has
been described as the Basin claim. They are at an elevation of 3,900
feet on the south side of the basin at the head of the main fork of Lime
creek. The country rock is argillite intruded by granite. One of the
mineral deposits is a vertical vein, 8 to 30 inches wide, mineralized with
pyrrhotite and some sphalerite, galena, and quartz. Another deposit is
a body of pyrrhotite, probably a vein, several feet wide.

Three Mile (Locality 180)

The Three Mile property is on Illiance river 3 miles from its mouth.
Pyrite-bearing shear zones have been developed by adits.

Tiger Group (Locality 143)

The Tiger group of three mineral claims is a short distance above the
Toric mine. The workings and camp buildings are about a quarter of
a mile east of Kitsault river and 17 miles from Alice Arm. The property
is reached by a foot trail branching from the Kitsault trail at the Toric
mine.

The property was staked in 1916. It was bonded in 1919 by H. B.
Price who drove an adit and did some diamond drilling but relinquished
his option. In 1928 the property was acquired by Utility Mines No. 1.
This company carried on development for some time but work ceased in
the autumn of 1929.

The claims are underlain by hard, dense, volcanic tuffs and felsite
cut by several narrow lamprophyre dykes. The mineral deposit is a
quartz vein 4 to 18 feet wide and has been traced on the surface for 300
feet. The vein strikes north 30 degrees east and dips steeply northwest.
A transverse fault 60 feet from the north end of the vein offsets the vein
30 feet. Another parallel fault 20 feet farther north has apparently offset
the vein 40 feet. The vein contains calcite as well as quartz and is
mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, ruby silver, and native silver.
The southern part of the vein is not well exposed on the surface, but
in this part of the vein a crosscut adit exposed 6 feet of vein matter con-
taining pyrite, sphalerite, galena, ruby silver, and native silver. In the
highest adit ruby silver and native silver occur 130 feet below the surface
and in No. 2 adit about 80 feet below the surface. The open-cuts show
the width, length, and strike, of the vein. Nine diamond drill holes explore
the vein for a length of 300 feet. Three adits at vertical intervals of 125
feet have encountered the vein.
