Lucky Strike Group (Locality 126)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1922, 1926,
1929, 1930, and 1931.

The Lucky Strike group of eight mineral claims is north of the west
fork of Kitsault river and west of the Vanguard group. Short trails from
the end of the Vanguard trail furnish access to different mineral showings
on the group.

The country rock is mainly felsite intrusive containing large inclusions
of argillite.

On the Rambler claim the mineral deposit is a quartz-calcite vein up
to 16 feet wide lying between breccia and argillite. It contains many
fragments of rock and is mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite.

On the Porcupine fraction are two quartz-calcite veins each up to
12 feet wide and containing pyrite and chalcopyrite and a little galena
and sphalerite.

On the Lucky Strike claim a brecciated zone 20 feet wide is cemented
with quartz, calcite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and some ealena and sphalerite.

On the Silver Crown claim a 2-foot shear zone contains stringers of
galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, and sphalerite.

Lynx Group (Locality 188)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916 and
1921; Geol. Surv., Canada, Sum. Rept. 1922, pt. A.

The Lynx group of five mineral claims is on the north fork of Lime
ereek and about 4 miles from Silver City. The Lime Creek pack trail
from Silver City crosses the property. Prior to 1921 the group was known
as the Caribou group.

The country rock in the vicinity of the property is argillaceous
quartzite and argillite intruded by many dykes and perhaps a small stock
of granite. The granite is riddled with narrow quartz stringers a few
inches or less in width and is locally crushed and weathered so that it is
soft and crumbly. The quartz stringers and granite contain disseminated
pyrite and molybdenite.

Macy Mine (Locality 192)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1917.

The Macy mine is on the south shore of Alice arm. The deposits
are large bodies of barren quartz and were at one time mined for flux for
the smelter at Anyox.

Mathilda Claim (Locality 124)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918, 1921,
1925, and 1927.

The Mathilda claim is west of the head of Kitsault river above the

Homestake group. Access is furnished by a short trail from the end of
the Vanguard trail.
