drift for 100 feet north and 135 feet south of the crosscut. The ore removed
ranged from 12 inches to 3 feet in width. At the face of the south drift
the vein ranges from 12 to 15 inches in width and carries from 15 to 20 per
cent of sulphides, chiefly arsenopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. A 12-inch
channel sample taken here across the face assayed: gold, 0-40 ounce a ton;
silver, 22-10 ounces a ton; lead, 5-25 per cent; zinc, 39-52 per cent.

At 150 feet north, in the north drift, the vein pinches from 3 feet to 1
foot, and this width is roughly maintained north to the face of the drift.
At the face the vein ranges from 6 to 12 inches in width and consists of
white, milky quartz sliced parallel the vein by small horizontal fault move-
ments, with finely banded seams of pyrite and galena along these planes.
A 7-inch channel sample taken across the vein, at the face, assayed: gold,
0-05 ounce a ton; silver, 14-20 ounces a ton; lead, 0-74 per cent; zinc,
1-48 per cent.

No. 5 Vein. The No. 5 vein lies 95 feet east of the No. 4 vein. It is
developed by a 32-foot drift north and a 55-foot drift south from the long
crosscut. The vein is 8 inches wide at the crosscut, but at the face of the
north drift it has pinched to 2 inches wide. In the south drift there is a
30-foot ore lens 3 feet in width on which a little stoping has been done, but
at the face the vein is pinched to a width of 4 inches.

No. 6 Vein. The vein is 193 fect east of the No. 5 vein and is cut in
the No. 2 crosscut adit 685 feet from the portal. There is 48 feet of
drifting, 16 feet north and 32 feet south from the crosscut. The vein is
only 4 inches wide at the face of the north drift but it widens gradually,
being 12 inches wide at the crosscut and 3 feet wide at the face of the south
drift. It contains from 5 to 15 per cent of sulphide throughout, most of
which is pyrite and arsenopyrite. A 3-foot channel sample taken across the
face of the south drift assayed: gold, 0-07 ounce a ton; silver, 0-57 ounce
a ton; lead, none; zinc, none.

No. 7 or Main Vein. The main vein is followed along the surface and
in the mine workings for a distance of 800 feet along its strike. From the
main shaft, at elevation 1,730 feet, the vein is followed south up the slope
by a series of open-cuts for 600 feet, to an elevation of 1,830 feet.
Scattered quartz float seen several hundred feet farther south suggests that
it continues in that direction. The vein strikes north 55 degrees east and
dips 60 degrees southeast. At the shaft the vein ranges from 2 to 4 feet
wide, and the quartz gangue is well mineralized with galena and sphalerite.
A large sample of almost solid galena with a little sphalerite and freibergite,
collected on the south side of the collar of the shaft, assayed: gold, 0-04
ounce a@ ton; silver, 146-95 ounces a ton; lead, 81-60 per cent; zinc, 1-12
per cent; antimony, 0-57 per cent.

A short crosscut adit driven east at a point 150 feet south of the
collar of the shaft cuts the main vein at 26 feet from the portal and the
hanging-wall vein at 56 feet from the portal. The latter vein branches
easterly at a small angle from the main vein at a distance of 230 feet south
of the shaft at the surface. In a 30-foot drift the main vein is 8 inches wide
and carries from 5 to 15 per cent of sulphides. The hanging-wall
vein is drifted on for 60 feet in this adit. It maintains an 8-inch ore width
