Altered Serpentine Rocks

In view of the fact that prospectors had reported
values in gold from the carbonate=quartz-=mariposite and carbonate-
tale rocks, samples were submitted to the Bureau of Mines to be
assayed, and the following results wore returned:

Sample No. 1. Carbonate-quartz-mariposite rock from the north
slope of Mount Williams: gold, trace; silver, 0.12
ounce a ton.

Sample No. 2. Carbonate-quartz-mariposite rock from about one
mile cast of Mount Williams: gold, trace;
silver, 0.01 ounce a ton; copper, trace; nickel,

Sample No. 3. Carbonate-tale rock from the north shore of
Trembleur Lake 6 miles wost of Middle River
. Village: gold, trace; silver, 0.01 ounce a von.

Sample No. 4. Carbonatc-quartz-mariposite rock, high in quartz
(75 per cent), from an outcrop 3 miles up Baptiste
Creck: gold, 0.055 ounce a ton; silver, 0.07 ounce

Other Mineral Showings

Throughout the map-areca numerous veins of white quartz,
up to 10 feet wide, cut the Carboniferous rocks, and the Mesozoic (?)
acid and basic intrusives. The veins are barren though cxhibiting
a little copper and iron stain.

Qn the south slope of Tsitsutl Mountain pyrite and
chalcopyrite in very small amounts have been formed in a band of
limestone near its contact with a granite body.
