in the main low grade. From No. 3 adi

cr

distance of 300 to 500 fect, including No. 4 adit at 250 feet
up, appears to be the best part of tho deposit
places is 6 to 8 feet wide, but is not everywhere well mineral-
ized across the full width. At one place in No. 4 adit, two
sections 12 and 8 inches wide on the outer edges of 35 feot of
poorly mineralized rock assayed: gold, 0.44 ounce, silver, 15.4
ounces a ton; lead, 12.6 per cent; and zinc, 135.8 per eent.
Beyond the upper limit of the better section the slope becomes
less steep and the deposit is cxposed along the valley of Halley
creek toward which it trends. In this section, because of the
stream valley, the deposit is exposed at successivel, lower

levels below the normal mountain slope. In the last 750 feet

in three scattered exposures the zone though fairly well

defined becomes narrower and in the last exposure after a gap

of 350 feet it is merely a single fracture that in one place

shows 2 inches of rusty vein material. Beyond this, along the
strike, the rocks are well exposed in places and no evidence of

a continuation of the fracture zone or the deposit was noted.

The minerals are mainly sphalcrite and galena-. Pyrite,
arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite are present and in places are
abundant. Sphalerite and galena occurring together or soparately
were noted in all sections of the deposits. In the uppermost

5

showings galena in places is as abundant as any other sulphide.
Several (possibly five or more) other veins have been
noted én the Victory group. They are in the main parailel to and
southeast of the better section of tho main vein. They are of the
samo type but are narrower and shorter; at least it is clear that
they do not extend far up the mountein, for abow 4,500 foot there

arc extonsive exposures of massive, mainly wirusvcc, voicanics

cut by no veins.
