Some of the veins were further explored by the Premier Gold Mining
Company, Limited, by means of diamond drilling. Six holes on the Forty
Nine claim passed under good surface showings but failed to strike any-
thing of value. Seven on the Chicago claim did not locate ore at depth.
Three on the Oxedental claim struck only a few spots running up to $5
in gold and silver a ton.

The Glacier group of claims is on the east side of Salmon River glacier
at its lower end. A quartz vein up to 5 feet wide strikes east and dips
45 degrees south. The vein is mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, and
galena. Picked specimens have yielded high values in gold and silver.

ized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, and quartz, The
mineralized body is up to 25 feet wide and has been traced from south
to north across two full claims. Samples taken over fair widths have
shown good values in gold. A quartz vein similarly mineralized strikes
northeast, is 1 to 8 feet wide, and has been traced for several hundred feet.

also striking northerly. A silicified zone mineralized with pyrite and
trending north has been traced by open-cuts.
