limestone. A large group of limestone outcrops lie a short distance
north of the east end of the magnetite showing and it seems probable that
the body of magnetite has developed along the southeast edge of a lime-
stone mass which may dip to the west at rather low angles.

A few yards northeast of the two above-described occurrences of
magnetite and garnetite is a gully on whose western bank is the larger
outcrop of crystalline limestone already twice referred to. In the bed of
the gully are loose blocks of nearly pure magnetite. A short distance
downhill, fine-grained, dark, igneous rock is exposed and the same is visible
in several places on the east bank of the gully. It is possible that the
mineralized horizon of locality 2 and perhaps also of locality 1, extends
northward to the gully and has furnished the loose masses of magnetite
there displayed.

One hundred and fifty feet north of locality 2, nearly pure
magnetite is exposed in several outcrops at locality 3, along a
nearly due north course 60 feet long. The largest individual outcrop is
about 10 feet in diameter. A few yards south of the southernmost mag-
netite outcrop are outcrops of an igneous rock, possibly a dyke; but no
other outcrops occur in the immediate vicinity and there is nothing to
indicate the possible size of the mineralized area save that, as at the other
localities, the trend of the outcrops is north and south as if this was the
direction of the longer axis.

Twenty-five feet east of locality 3 are four outcrops, the largest
about 10 feet in diameter, of nearly pure magnetite. This is locality
4. The four outcrops lie within an area 80 feet in diameter. To the
northeast and north 50 to 100 feet away are several exposures of fine-
grained igneous rocks and one of crystalline limestone, but otherwise there
is nothing to indicate whether the outcrops of magnetite at locality
4 belong to one or more bodies nor what the size and general character of
the body or bodies may be.

At localities 3 and 4 are several small outcrops of garnetite. The
garnetite tends to disintegrate, so that at the surface areas rich in mag-
netite stand out in relief, whereas the lower grade matter forms depressions
which tend to be drift filled; therefore, it is possible that the isolated out-
crops of both localities belong to one general mineralized area, largely
formed of garnet.

The outcrops of magnetite on the Spade Flush claim lie 900 feet
northeast of those on the Sadie claim and are separated from them by a
wide, shallow, drift-covered depression. The outcrops on the Spade Flush
occur on the tops and sides of three knolls. At locality 5, garnetite
and magnetite are displayed over an irregular area 80 feet long with a maxi-
mum breadth of 35 feet. The outcrops form the southwest and northeast
faces and the top of the southeast end of a knoll about 30 fect high. The
exposures on the southwest face terminate at a dark dyke at the foot of
the slope. On this southwest face the material is largely garnet, but on
the northeast face there is an outcrop measuring about 20 feet by 15 feet
of nearly pure magnetite. This mass lies within the general area of garnet
and intermixed garnet and magnetite. The extent of this area is unknown,
for rock outcrops are few. It presumably does not extend to the south
more than a few yards beyond the exposures of the dyke rock at the south
en of the knoll; it may continue some considerable distance east and
west.
