sediments indicating that the dip here must be relatively low.
The sedimentary serics includes interbedded black
argillite, usually much sheared, sandstone, and conglomerate.
The argillite is said to be the most mineralized. The volcanics
are fairly fresh in appearance and are rusty in the main only
near the base. Springs that deposit much iron oxide were noted

issuing from the scdiments some distance to the east on the trail.

NORTHERN PEAK (MOUNT EVELYN), HUDSON BAY MOUNTAIN. The northern
peak of Hudson Bay mountain has as its core the largest mass of
granodiorite exposed on the mountain. A number of deposits have
been found surrounding the mass. They appear in the main to be
small or are sparsely mineralized. Mineralization generally is
similar to that characteristic of the main mountain and shows the
same variations in each deposit and in different deposits. On

Similar assays were secured on the Evelyn, which in places shows
similar extensive oxidization of the veins. Other properties

include Rico Aspen® end Trixie.

SIMPSON CREEK. Numerous mineral deposits occur in a relatively
narrow band along Simpson creek and extend from the base of the

mountain toward the peak up to at least 5,500 fect. They lie in
