Cascade Falls Mining Company, Limited, carried on development work
from 1911 to 1913 on claims east of Cascade creek about a mile from the
International Boundary line. McConnell mentions an easterly striking min-
eralized and silicified zone up to 30 feet wide. He records one assay of a
sample of 8 feet of the zone that showed 0-14 ounce of gold, 7 ounces of
silver a ton, and 7-60 per cent lead.

Eldorado Gold Mines Consolidated, Limited (Locality 9)

The holdings of Eldorado Gold Mines Consolidated, Limited, consist
of four claims that lie west of Salmon glacier and adjoin the Outland Silver
Bar group. The mineral deposits are narrow quartz veins in argillite cut
by the belt of dykes. Open-cuts and adits have shown shoots of high-grade
vein matter consisting of tetrahedrite and galena. Samples carried good
values in gold and up to 600 ounces of silver a ton.

Forty Nine Mining Company, Limited (Locality 10)

The holdings of the Forty Nine Mining Company consist of the Forty
Nine group of claims east of the Salmon River glacier, on the western slope
of mount Dilworth. The claims are mainly underlain by volcanic frag-
mental rocks striking north to northwest and dipping at variable angles
westward. Dykes striking north to northwest are common. At least
two beds of tuff have been mineralized with pyrite and outcrop as rusty
bands. A number of quartz-sulphide veins strike north to northwest. Some
of the veins hold shoots of high-grade silver ore.

On the Oxedental, the most southerly claim of the group, quartz veins
up to 3 feet wide strike northwest and one such vein has been followed by
open-cuts and has been explored by an adit 120 feet long. The vein in the
adit is about 1 foot wide and is locally well mineralized with tetrahedrite,
galena, and silver minerals.

Quartz veins also occur on the Forty Nine claim situated north of and
adjacent to the Oxedental. Three of the veins strike northwest and have
been traced for almost a mile across the Forty Nine claim and the adjacent
Yellowstone group. A sample representing a width of 8 feet across one vein
and associated rock with disseminated sulphide assayed 0-16 ounce in gold
and 19 ounces of silver a ton. Adits totalling about 300 feet in length
have been driven on the Forty Nine claim.

On the Chicago claim several veins strike northwest and have been
traced for several hundred feet.
