104 (27) Tipella Mountain, Harrison Lake LOCATION Mr. J. G. West of Jubilee, and associates, have staked a number of mineral claims to include known outcrops of hematite on Tipella mount- ain which is situated just beyond the head of Harrison lake, on the west side of the valley in which the lake lies. The group of mineral claims is traversed by the steep-sided valley of Crazy ereck, at this point flowing northeasterly. The valley floor within the area of the claims has an average elevation of 3,200 feet above Harrison lake. On its southeastern side the valley wall is continued upwards to the main summit of Tipella mountain; on the opposite, northwestern side the slopes rise 1,000 feet or more to a ridge on the flank of the mountain. The claims may be reached by a blazed line which commences on a rough road leading northwesterly along the continuation of Harrison Lake valley. The line begins about 500 yards from the wharf at Tipella and extends up the steep mountain side along the western edge of Crazy Creek valley. GENERAL DESCRIPTION No development work has yet been attempted on the claims. The outcrops of hematite-bearing rock are still in their original condition, are very few in number, and are not of large size. On the southeast side of Crazy Creek valley, within the limits of the group of mineral claims, on the slopes of the main mass of Tipella mountain, small fragments of hematite, none more than 2 inches broad, were observed here and there amongst the materials of a rock slide to a height of 600 feet above the valley. It is said that narrow seams of hematite an inch or so wide have been found in place along a watercourse traversing this slide and that higher up the slope, at the top of the slide at a point perhaps 1,000 feet higher, seams of hematite an inch or 2 wide are observable. On the opposite, northwest slope of Crazy Creek valley, at an elevation of 500 feet above the valley, a small knoll shows rock heavily mineralized with hematite for a width of 50 feet. The material has a banded appear- ance as if it extended in a north-northeasterly and south-southwesterly direction, but the total length exposed is not much above 50 feet. Along the apparent line of strike of the mineralized zone and only a_ short distance away, unmineralized rock outcrops, but it is said that at some little distance southwesterly, another showing of hematite has been discovered. About 250 yards along a northwesterly direction from the showing on the knoll, hematite-bearing rock is exposed with a width of 30 feet, but along the strike is visible for only a few feet. If this mineralized zone is continuous with the first-mentioned occurrence, the zone must extend beneath a drift-covered area and make two abrupt bends, each approxi- mating a right angle, because elsewhere large exposures of unmineralized country rock are visible. About 200 yards along a northwesterly direction from the second- mentioned mineralized outcrop, is a third showing having a width of at least 50 feet and traceable along the strike for 100 feet to where bedrock is wholly concealed beneath drift. It is possible that the hematite-bearing rocks of the two last-mentioned outcrops belong to one continuous zone
