tetrahedrite, and galena, but the last three minerals are rare. The vein
has been developed by two drift adits (Nos. 1 and 2, Figure 9). The adits
are each 75 feet long, one is 50 feet above the other, and both have been
driven north along the vein. A body of solid sulphide several feet wide
in the upper adit according to Clothier assays 40 cents in gold, 31 “6 ounces
of silver, 15 per cent lead, 18 per cent zinc, and 8-3 per cent antimony.1
The vein is less than 2 feet wide in the lower adit except at the face where

it widens rapidly to 5 feet. Other veins striking at various angles to the
main vein are known. Two of these are shown in Figure 9. The cross
veins so far as known are narrow, but in some places contain high silver
values.

Fractures seen in the adits diverge northward from the fault. Some
of these may be ore-bearing and the wider portions of the vein may be at
the junctions of such fractures with the fault. Development, however, is
not yet extensive enough to show any definite relations between wide ore-
bodies and cross fractures.

Further development will be of considerable interest, as the main
vein on this property is quite unusual in that it contains shoots of solid
sulphide.
