bench, in an area about 1,000 fect long. Within this stretch
sulphides occur in a number of areas 50 to 100 foct long and

5 to 25 foot wide ond are also scattered widely in still smaller
amounts. The mineralized areas as seen on the surface are not
continuous with, one another and there is no reason to believe
that they are continuous beneath the surface. The mincralization
is in the main sparse, but massive sulphides, including galena,
sphalerite, and pyrrhotite and small amounts of chalcopyrite,
occur in pockets, stringers, and in breccia. A sample of a
section rich in sulphides assayed 39 ounces of silver to the
ton, 25.2 per cent lead, and 9.2 per cent zinc.

The rocks are mainly argillite, sandstone, and
conglomerate and they dip south at angles of about 25 degrees
but are considerably contorted near the deposits. With the
clastics there is some completely altered rock that is probably
dacite tuff or flow but may be intrusive. Mineralization has
been largely confined to shattored zones in this altered rock.
It occurs both as cavity filling and as replacements. In places
it is flat lying and much of it may be of the nature of an

irregular blanket that has beon to a considerable extent eroded.

mineralization occurs along the mountain slope at about the same a
level for about 4,000 feet. It occurs in pockets, in stringers, if
in irregular fractures, and along one zone of alteration dipping

casterly into the mountain at an angle of Set 45 degrees. It if

occurs mainly in volcanics that are overlain by conglomerate,
