1926, and 1927.

The Lion group of claims is on the southern slope of mount Dils-
worth and is crossed by the belt of dykes. A vein crosses one of the dykes
but does not extend beyond the dyke walls and consequently has a length

of only 20 feet.

1919, 1922, and 1925; Geol. Surv., Canada, Memoir 132.

The holdings of Mineral Hill Mines, Limited, consist of the Mineral
Hill group. This lies east of Harris creek and adjoins the E. Pluribus,
Laura, and Golden Crown claims of the Big Missouri group.

The mineral deposit is a northeasterly striking quartz-sulphide zone
which may be a continuation of the main showing on the E. Pluribus claim
of the Big Missouri group. Open-cuts disclosed some very high-grade
silver ore, but in an adit passing below them only low-grade mineralization
was found. The deposit lies in feldspar porphyry similar to that at the
Premier mine. Lamprophyre dykes are numerous in the adit.

Montana Fraction (Locality 16)

mineralized with pyrite, galena, and sphalerite. One of the veins is up to
15 feet wide.
