The total distance over which these veins are exposed is probably
about 1,000 feet. A distance of about 1,000 fect, wherein rock
exposures are few, separates these showings from these on the
Black Bear. Mineralization in other horizons parallel to these
is in the main slight. Some ore has been shipped to the smelter
from the Black Wolf and a few tons remain sacked at the property.
On the Black Bear one vein has been traced by open-cuts
and natural showings for over 1,400 fect, beyond which, in both
directions, pits have failed to show much mineralization. It
follows the bedding and along most of its length lies in
argillites below a bed of greywacke or tuff, and 75 to 100 feet
below the conglomerate. It has a general strike of north 60
degrees east and dips 60 degrees south. For the first 600 feet,
commencing at the most westerly exposure, the vein for the most
part varies in width between 1 and 2 feet and, locally, in rolls
attains a width of 4 feet or more. In the next 500 feet the vein
is mainly less than 1 foot wide. At the end of the 500-foot
section, the vein appears to be offset 75 feet, beyond which it
continues for over 300 feet, but for the most part is only a few | |
inches wide. Throughout the traced length of 1,400 pees the vein
pinches and swells and in places it splits and is intermixed with
argillite or greywacke (or tuff). In places it is greatly

twisted as a result of following contortions in the argillites. ie

Underground the vein has »een followed for a length of

sections visible at the surface. In the drift, the vein over a

length of 20 feet ranges in width between 6 and 10 inches, for
the next 30 feet it is absent, and for the next 40 feet it
averages 10 inches with a range of 6 to 18 inches.
The vein is well mineralized. In order to ascertain the
