Black Diamond Group (Locality 121)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918 and 1922.

The Black Diamond group of eight claims is north of Clearwater creek
and a mile east of Kitsault river. The deposit is a quartz vein 10 to 16
feet wide cutting argillite. Metallic minerals are extremely scarce in the
vein.
Blue Ribbon Group (Locality 120)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1921.

The Blue Ribbon group of four mineral claims is south of the west
arm of Kitsault glacier and between 3,500 and 5,000 feet above sea-level.
The mineral showings can be reached by a foot trail extending west from
the end of the Kitsault trail at the Homestake group.

The country rock consists of felsite, some of which is intrusive. In-
clusions of argillite are fairly common. An open-cut exposes a quartz
vein several feet wide mineralized with pyrite, galena, and sphalerite. At
another place about 4,500 feet in elevation a large argillite inclusion has
been severely deformed and crushed. The argillite contains pyrite and
many veinlets of calcite containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, and galena. Gold
occurs in this deposit but has not yet been found in paying quantities.

Bonanza Fraction (Locality 141)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916 and 1918.

The Bonanza fraction mineral claim is west of Kitsault river and 17
miles from Alice Arm. The mineral showing on this claim was at one time
supposed to be on the Kitsaul group of claims. It was exposed by a
large open-cut, is 18 feet wide, and consists of quartz and jasper with pyrite,
chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. The deposit is reported to hold good
values in silver. Attempts to follow it along the strike have failed.

Bunker Hill Group (Locality 156)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1923, 1924, and
1925.

The Bunker Hill group of seven mineral claims is on the southeast side
of Klayduc mountain and about 2,000 feet above sea-level. It is reached
by a trail extending south from the LaRose mine.

The country rock is argillite and the showings are near the eastern
contact of the Klayduc igneous body. The mineral deposit is a northerly
striking quartz vein 2 feet wide in a narrow shear zone. The vein is
mineralized with galena, sphalerite, and pyrite, and in some places is
nearly solid sulphide. Dykes cut the vein, and later movement along the
hanging-wall of the vein has offset the dykes. The property has been
developed by open-cuts and a short adit.

Butte Claim (Lecality 153)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The Butte claim is on Dak river. On it there is a sparsely mineralized
fissure 2 or 3 feet wide.
