zone assayed: gold, 0.6 ounce, silver, 32 ounces a von; and
copper 9.4 per cent. An earlier assay showed 1.52 ounces gold,
SO ounces silver a ton; and 8 per cent copper. The property
occurs on a steep hillside in volcanic rock. Scattered over an
area about 500 feet along and 200 feet up the slope are a number
of small and very irregular mineralized zones, in part shear and
in part fracture. No systematic arrangement of the zones is
apparent and the main zone, from which the assays were secured,

though 5 feet wide, pinches out in a short distance and is not

continuous up the hill-slope for much more than 50 feet. Other
zones are similarly irregular. The zones are also irregularly
minerelized, and in places only sparsely, compared with those
that yielded the high assays. Faulting ssibaaguent to mineraliza-
tion has further contributed to the irregularity. Minerals
present include tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite.

High gold assays have been secured from th» Hyland

Basin, ‘two selected samples (probably massive sulphides) showing

1.60 and 4,12 ounces of gold a ton.
