NORTH-WESTERN DISTRICT (No. 1).

the proximity of the Prosperity and the Porier-Idaho groups on the east and the Silverado on
the north, and the very similar geological conditions, the property is worthy of systematic
prospecting.

This company’s claims are situated on the west side of the Bear River valley,

Bayview on the easterly slope of Mount Dolly at an elevation of about 3,000 feet, and

Mining Co., Ltd. about 3 miles from Stewart. No work was being done on the claims at the
time of examination. The best opportunity for success on these holdings of
the company lies in the eastern area of the Lucille No. 1 claim, which is in the Bear River
formation and some little distance from the granite-contact. Some further prospecting was
carried out on this part of the property during the latter part of the season and additional
discoveries were reported. No extensive development was carried out during the year. This
property warrants some further development and exploration, but to be effective it should be
planned and under the direction of a competent mining engineer.
On these claims, adjoining the Bayview on the north and east, some stripping
United Empire and cleaning-out of the old cuts has exposed the No. 1 yein for a distance of
Gold and Silver several hundred feet. In one cut at elevation 8,475 feet the vein shows 23
Mining Co., Ltd. inches well mineralized with galena and ruby silver. A sample taken across
18 inches of the showing in this cut assayed: Gold, 0.12 oz. to the ton; silver,
207.7 oz. to the ton; lead, 9.3 per cent.; zine, 5.7 per cent. The drift on this vein at elevation
3,350 feet is advanced 145 feet, but will have to be extended to get under the possible downward
extension of this high-grade lens. A sample taken across the 5-foot face of this tunnel assayed:
Gold, 0.02 oz. to the ton; silver, 27.2 oz. to the ton; lead, trace; zine, 1.6 per cent.

There is much ground on the property still to be prospected. The large pyritized porphyry
dykes cutting through the claims in a north-westerly direction should be prospected for the
possibility of a mill-grade ore. At elevation 2,975 feet, about 600 feet south-east of the camp,
a large cupriferous pyrrhotite outcropping should also be prospected.

Dunwell Mines, Ltd—An electrical survey was carried out on this property during the latter
part of the summer. Indications from this work were followed up with diamond-drilling, the
results from which are reported to be not altogether favourable. It is understood that further
drilling will be continued during 1930.

This property was formerly known as the Mobile. Late in the season the

Kenneth.* group was optioned by Clay Porter, of Stewart, who intends to start active

development in the spring of 1930. It is owned by H. P. Gibson and Louis
Legg and consists of nine claims on the south side of Glacier creek, at an elevation of 4.000 feet.
It is reached by a good trail from the Dunwell mill. The main showing consists of a well-defined
vein in a shear-zone in argillites, striking north and south and dipping steeply to the west. It is
mineralized with pyrite and zinc-blende. Erosion of the foot-wall has formed a well-marked
trench running down the hill, leaving the vein standing on its western side. It ean easily be
traced for a considerable distance and its lower end descends into a narrow canyon with vertical
sides.

A considerable amount of work has been done on this vein, consisting of several open-cuts
and three drifts over a yertical distance of approximately 400 feet; the width varies from
18 inches to 4 feet. A chip sample over 24 inches of the foot-wall of the vein exposed in the
cut assayed: Gold, 0.03 oz. to the ton; silver, 0.9 0z. to the ton; lead, trace: zine, 2 per cent.
A sample from the face of No. 1 drift, 50 feet in from the portal (60 feet vertically below the
cut), over 24 inches of vein-matter, assayed: Gold, trace; silver, 182.6 oz. to the ton; lead,
1.6 per cent.; zine, 54 per cent. A sample from the face of No. 2 drift, 80 feet in from the
portal (80 feet vertically below No. 1 drift), over 18 inches of vein-matter, assayed: Gold,
0.02 oz. to the ton; silver, 2.2 oz. to the ton; lead, trace; zinc, 3 per cent. There is also a drift
(No. 3) which is about 100 feet below No. 2. It is in about 110 feet.

Another showing occurs about a quarter of a mile to the west. It consists of a quartz vein
with much the same physical characteristics as the first, but appears to be rather more heavily
mineralized. It has been exposed in a creek-bed by an open-cut and shows a face 20 feet wide.
It is fairly well mineralized with galena, zine-blende, and pyrite. A chip sample over 86 inches
of mineralized matter from the middle of face assayed: Gold, trace; silver, 10.6 0z. to the ton;
lead, trace; zinc, 4.2 per cent. A sample over the next 27 inches to the west assayed: Gold,
0.02 oz. to the ton; silver, 1.4 oz, to the ton; lead, trace; zinc, 4 per cent.
