open-cuts and natural exposures for a distance of 350 feet between eleva-
tions of 2,165 and 2,225 feet. The zone strikes north 70 degrees east and
dips from 70 to 80 degrees northwest. It ranges from 6 inches to 4 feet in
width.

Near its northeast end a crosscut adit has been driven 76 feet southeast
to the zone and a drift extends along the zone. At a distance of 27 feet
southwest of the crosscut, a raise from the drift connects with No. 1 shaft.
The distance from the collar of the raise to the floor of the adit is 35 feet.
An ore shoot 30 inches wide, which was encountered during raising opera-
tions, furnished the ore shipped in 1917. According to the 1916 report of
the Minister of Mines, B.C., an average sample taken across 30 inches in
the raise at that time assayed: gold, a trace; silver, 3-2 ounces a ton; copper,
3°7 per cent.

On the surface the zone narrows northeast of the shaft. A 6-inch
channel sample collected by the writer across the full width of the zone
in an open-cut 25 feet northeast of the No. 2 shaft assayed: gold, 0-01
ounce a ton; copper, 2-05 per cent.

No. 2 shaft, 10 feet in depth, is 200 feet southwest of the No. 1 shaft.
A heap of low-grade ore piled alongside the shaft consists of tuff replaced
by siderite, quartz, calcite, and pyrite with a little chalcopyrite. Ten feet
southwest of the shaft there is a 12-foot open-cut in which the sheared zone
is 40 inches wide. A 40-inch channel sample taken across the zone in this
cut assayed: gold, a trace; silver, 1-39 ounces a ton; copper, 0-05 per cent.

At elevation 1,975 feet, 440 feet southwest of No. 2 shaft, an adit is
driven 206 feet in a northeast direction. The adit cuts a number of small
mineralized fractures, none of which continues over 25 or 30 feet. Although
the adit is on the line of strike of the main zone as projected from No. 2
shaft, it has evidently failed to intersect it. At No. 2 shaft the zone dips
70 degrees northwest, and as the adit is 190 feet below No. 2 shaft the zone
should lie about 75 feet farther northwest at the adit level. This being so,
a crosscut driven northwest from the face of the adit should intersect the
sheared zone.

The Hazelton View group is on the northwest slope of Rocher Déboulé
Mountain 4 miles south of South Hazelton and 3 miles east of the railway.
A pack-horse trail 3 miles long leads from Comeau’s ranch at the foot of
the mountain to the mine camp at elevation 4,100 feet. The workings are
immediately above the camp between elevations of 5,100 and 6,025 feet.

The claims were acquired by New Hazleton Gold Cobalt Mines, Limited,
in 1916, and were developed continuously until 1919. Two adits were
driven and a tram-line constructed from the workings to the camp. During
1918 a carload of ore was shipped to the Ore Testing Laboratories, Mines
Branch, Ottawa. The car contained 53,288 pounds dry weight of ore,
which carried: gold, 1-24 ounces a ton; MoSe, 1-40 per cent; MoOs, 0-18
per cent; cobalt, 1-12 per cent; nickel, 0-60 per cent; arsenic, 8-98 per cent.
