Probably much the same features occur below this ground as those

much better exhibited on the othcr two propertics.

Morice Mountain
On Morice mountain Lay states that granitic rocks

intrude limestone and other sediments and volcanics. Minereliza-
tion occurs on the northern and southern slopes. Valued are
mainly in copper. Some narrow veins carry as much as 10 per

cent copper, and 106 ounces a ton of silver. Properties include
Croesus (1931, page 74), Sholtod (1930, page 142), Peacock!

Houston, west of Buck river, and is a continuation of the
Bulkley belt to the south. It is a semi-mountainous area, but
contains mount Nadina, 7,065 feet, the most outstanding landmark
in the district. Granite, which constitutes part of this
mountain, and diorite intrude andesitie volcanics and a limited
amount of indurated Upper Cretaceous(?) sediments. Copper,
zinc, and lead deposits, which are most important because of
their silver content, have in places undergone considerable
development. There is a wide range in the abundance of cach
metal even in one vein. Silver ranges from very low to about
150 ounces, and gold up to about 0.5 ounce a ton; the average
for any considerable body would appear at best to be only

moderate. There are in places numerous high-grade veins, but
