Development work in progress during the summer of 1927 consisted
of a drift adit on a 6-foot quartz vein paralleling the south fork of Glacier
creek and outcropping on the east bank of the creek. The vein strikes north
and dips west at 20 to 50 degrees. It consists of drusy quartz mineralized
with pyrite, galena, and sphalerite.

American Creek Mining Company, Limited (Locality 17)

1930.

The American Creek Mining Company, Limited, was referred to in
the report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, for 1910, and again
in the report for 1930. It is possible that the references pertain to differ-
ent companies. The claims of the earliest mentioned company lie on the
west side of American creek north of the Mountain Boy group. The show-
ings have not been described.

The holdings of the latest mentioned company consist of sixty claims
on American creek and north of the Mountain Boy group. The rocks are
mainly volcanic. Chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization and quartz veins have
been discovered.

American Girl Group (Locality 19)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, 1904, 1905, 1906, and 1909.

The American Girl group of claims is on American creek 4 miles from
its mouth. A banded quartz vein up to 14 feet wide strikes southwest and
dips southeast in volcanic rock. The vein contains galena, sphalerite,
stibnite, and copper minerals. Local high values in silver are reported. At
an elevation of 2,200 feet there is an adit on the vein 100 feet long.

America’s Girl Group (Locality 59)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1925 and 1927.

The America’s Girl group of twelve mineral claims is south of Bitter
creek at its junction with Bear river. The claims are on the contact be-
tween volcanic rocks and sediments with a belt of granitic dykes. At an
elevation of 1,700 feet an adit 85 fect long has been driven to develop a
quartz vein about 4 feet wide in volcanic rocks. The vein is sparsely min-
eralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite. Another narrower quartz vein
roughly parallel and 200 feet lower contains similar mineralization.

Anaconda Group (Locality 18)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1926 and 1928.

The Anaconda group of five mineral claims is on the east side of Ameri-
can creek and 2 miles north of the Terminus group. At an elevation of 4,700
feet a narrow band of argillite and limestone interbedded with rudely
stratified voleanic rocks strikes north and dips 45 degrees east. The lime-
stone is locally mineralized with pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.
