GENERAL DESCRIPTION In the immediate vicinity of the ore deposit on the Magnet claim the rocks are mainly fine-grained intrusives or extrusives, but one outcrop of dark crystalline limestone was noted. Several hundred yards to the east is the western edge of a large body of granitic rocks. The ore-body consists mainly of magnetite, but with in places con- siderable garnetite and included masses of country rock. It outcrops on a slope falling to the north and is exposed over a curving, band-like area 350 feet long and with a maximum width of 75 feet. The mass strikes southerly and disappears beneath drift at both ends. At the southern end outcrops of country rock indicate rather closely the limits of the ore-body in that direction, but at the north end there is a wide, drift-filled depression and nothing to indicate how far the ore-body may extend northward beyond the last outcrops. At the north end the magnetite outcrops on a steep bluff rising 55 fect in an horizontal distance of 30 feet. At the base of this bluff a tunnel has been driven 22 feet southward along the strike of the ore-body. In the tunnel, magnetite is exposed for a length of about 5 feet from the portal, with much sulphide at the boundary between magne- tite and the country rock which appears along the rest of the tunnel length, is much shattered, and is traversed by calcite veins. At the tunnel mouth, magnetite outcrops eastward for 20 feet to the boundary of the body and for 12 feet to the west to where outcrops are concealed. Along the strike of the body, 150 feet from the tunnel entrance, a trench exposes the mass across nearly its full width. Towards the western edge, over a width of more than 30 feet, as exposed in the trench, the ore- body is very largely of garnetite, but on the eastern side, magnetite pre- dominates. On the whole the ore-body at the northern exposures is nearly solid magnetite, but towards the south end the magnetite content decreases and in places the material is not an iron ore. Disseminated sulphide is present everywhere and is abundant in places along or near the eastern margin of the magnetite mass where there are also masses of barren country rock. The magnetite body has a faintly developed, sheeted appearance and a well-defined parting, both dipping at a low angle to the west. Along the western side of the body the boundary is rarely visible, but in various places country rock is exposed close to the edge and at each place rises higher than the neighbouring outcrops of magnetite. Along the east side of the mass of ore, the country rock wherever exposed lies lower than the adjacent magnetite and in several places may be seen for a few inches to pass beneath it, as also seems to be the case where the tunnel has been driven. Apparently the ore-body is tabular, and dips at a low angle to the westward.
