San Diego Group (Locality 164)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The San Diego group of eight mineral claims is south of Dak river
about 4 miles from Alice Arm. The property can be reached by a short
trail branching from the Dak River trail.

The rocks on the property are sediments intruded by felsitic rocks
containing augite phenocrysts in places. The igneous rocks are greatly
altered. The mineral showings are in the felsite very near the contact
with argillites to the west and consist of rock locally impregnated with
pyrite and some chalcopyrite.

Second Thought Group (Locality 128)

and 1925; Geol. Surv., Canada, Sum. Rept. 1921, pt. A.

The Second Thought group of four mineral claims is on Kitsault river

a few hundred yards south of the mouth of Clearwater creek. The mineral

deposits are veins lying parallel to the strike and dip of argillite. The

veins are up to 8 feet wide and consist of white quartz containing

numerous small inclusions of argillite. Values in silver have been reported.

Silver Bell Claim (Locality 179)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918.

The Silver Bell claim is at the southwest base of McGrath mountain
and adjoins and lies southwest of the Lone Star group. ‘The mineral
deposit is up to 15 feet wide and consists of stringers of quartz in argil-
laceous rock. The quartz carries pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. The only
sulphide of any abundance is sphalerite.

Silver Bell Group (Locality 170)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916, 1918,
1919, 1920, and 1921.

The Silver Bell group of five mineral claims is on Illiance river about
15 miles from Alice Arm. The claims are reached by the Illiance trail
which crosses the claims.

The country rock consists of fragmental volcanic rocks that strike
north and have been sheared along a north-south direction. Several veins
are known to occur on the property. They parallel the trend of the shear
planes, are up to 3 feet ‘wide, and although they become very narrow locally
they have been traced for hundreds of feet. They consist of quartz, pyrite,
galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite, and locally are nearly solid sulphide.
The ore is of a high-grade silver-lead type, but the shoots of high-grade
ore are very small.

Silver Bow Claim (Locality 188)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, 1916.

The Silver Bow claim is near the head of Lime creek. The mineral
deposit consists of quartz stringers in argillite.
