ADDENDA

Several mineral deposits were visited that lay outside of the Barker-
ville gold belt. Descriptions of these do not properly belong with a report
on the gold belt, but as no geological report is being written at present
on Willow River map-area, a geological map of which is now being pre-
pared, it is desirable to present some information on the mineral deposits
of this map-area. Brief descriptions of the mineral deposits seen in
Willow River map-area but not included in the Barkerville gold belt
will now be given. The properties are taken up in alphabetical order.

BARRY CREEK GROUPS

Barry creek enters Willow river from the west about 12 miles north of
Beaver Pass House. There are three groups of claims at this place, the
Ajax, Rex, and Lux groups, held in 1933 by N. Hanson and partners. The
Beaver Pass trail is the route to the properties.

Only a few isolated rock outerops were seen. They are of grey,
quartz-sericite schists and calcareous schists of the Cariboo series, strik-
ing west to west-southwest and dipping north at moderate to steep angles.
The location is on the northeastern limb of the main anticline of the Cariboo
series about 2 miles from its crest.

The mineral showings consist of narrow quartz stringers exposed in
Barry creek and striking in the main northeast, and of larger bodies of
quartz a few hundred feet above the crossing of the Beaver Pass trail.
The quartz stringers are reported to contain some free gold. Some of the
larger bodies of quartz are boulders, probably near their source, but two
may be in place. One of these is 3 feet wide and 20 feet long, strikes
northwest, and dips 60 degrees northeast. It consists of white quartz
sparingly mineralized with pyrite and containing some sericite. The other
is 6 by 8 feet and appears to strike northeast and dip 60 degrees northwest.
This body is also very sparingly mineralized with pyrite.

BURNS MOUNTAIN GOLD QUARTZ MINES, LIMITED

The property of the Burns Mountain Gold Quartz Mines, Limited, is
the old Perkins group, at an elevation of 5,200 feet on Burns mountain
about 2 miles east of Stanley.

The rocks on the property are sheared quartzites and quartz sericite
schists of the Cariboo series, striking northwest and dipping gently north-
east. On a hillside sloping gently to the west, pits, shafts, and trenches were
made many years ago on three parallel quartz veins, each about a foot
wide, that are 25 feet apart and strike north-northeast and dip steeply
west. The veins were followed on the surface for 200 feet or more along
their strike. Seventy-five feet lower an adit was driven eastward toward
these veins and a raise put up to the surface. Gold ore was mined from the
