Members of another large group of deposits occur in
nearly vertical dykes cutting across the strata. Deposits of this
type are in the main unlikely to be of economic importance. They
are chiefly veins confined to the dykes or extending very short
distances beyond them. They parallel the dykes or cut obliquely
across them. «In places the veins follow along the walls of the
dykes. They are generally short, lenticular, and of the nature of
gash veins. Some, however, are probably at least 100 foet long
and as much as 5 feet wide. In places they, are so numerous that
sections of the dykes could be mined as a whole. Where the extent
of mineralization is great the dykes are in places completely
altered to a light grey, rusty weathering aggregate of carbonate,
mica, quartz, etc. Assays of this material have not shown the
presence of important values.

Other known types of deposits are rare or unimportant.
On the Belway property one deposit occurs in a schistose zone and
another carrying bornite and gold occurs in a dyke or sill of green
augite diorite. Similar occurrences to this are seen farther east

along Maroon creek.

Creek valley, a thick series of andesitic volcanics overlies a
thick series of argillites. The contact between the two series is

fairly regular and strikes about cast to 30 degrees south of east

and dips north 20 degrees to 30 degrees. On the east side of the
valley the strike of the strata is roughly 20 degrees to 40 degrees
cast of south and the dip is 40 degrees to 60 degrees cast. Knauss
ereck appears to be located on the crest of an anticline plunging

steeply north.
