(48 e) Old Ireland and Standard No. 6 Mineral Claims Other minor magnetite showings are said to occur on these claims, but they could not be located on account of dense second growth, under- brush, and fallen timber. They are mentioned in a private report made over twenty years ago, but the geological descriptions contained therein are so inaccurate and unreliable that no purpose would be served by reproducing them here. Bibliography See page 158 for further details 6. Carmichael, H., p. 212. No (49 a) Darby and Joan Deposit, Alberni Canal (See Figure 38) LOCATION This magnetite deposit is located about 600 yards east of Smiths Janding, which is on the eastern side of Alberni canal, 12 miles from Port Alberni, and just below the newly constructed Canadian National railway grade. The showings are along a low, steep, westerly slope, facing the canal. The country has been burnt over, and a great deal of fallen timber, second growth, and underbrush have obscured the workings and have made travel- ling and examination arduous. The elevations of the deposit are from 85 to 150 feet above sea-level. HISTORY AND OWNERSHIP The Darby and Joan mineral claims were claims of record in the name of George and A. Smith, Alberni, but they have now lapsed. All of the development was accomplished prior to 1903, as it is described with geological sketches by Carmichael in his 1902 annual report (6, pages 213- 214). GEOLOGY There is at Smiths landing an easterly dipping group of porphyrites, andesitic tuffs and breccias, and limestone, belonging to the Vancouver series and the Sutton limestone formation. The dips, as far as they were determined, were found to vary from 40 degrees to 55 degrees.
