25 irregularly through them. The ore minerals in order of abundance are, galena, zinc blende, arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, and pyrite. Both galena and tetrahedrite carry a high silver content and the arsenopyrite carries considerable gold. No. 1 vein is the most westerly, No. 2 vein lies 180 feet east of No. 1 vein, and No. 3 vein lies 400 feet east of No. 2 vein. The main or No. 4 vein is 800 feet east of the No. 1 vein and 900 feet south of the No. 3 vein. As Nos. 3 and 4 veins are on the same strike they may be the same vein. If so, its total length would exceed 1,300 feet. No. 5 vein is 1,200 feet southwest of No. 1 vein. No. 1 vein has been traced along the surface by stripping and by open-cuts for over 300 feet. Two inclined shafts 100 feet apart were sunk on the vein about 1912, but are now water-filled. Between these shafts, the vein ranges from 3 to 4 feet in width and carries from 3 to 5 per cent of sulphides, chiefly galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite, with a little chalcopyrite. Towards its north end the vein narrows to 2 feet and is very sparsely mineralized. According to the 1914 report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, the south shaft is 100 feet deep on a 60-degree incline, with drifts at 27 and 50 feet. The following quotations are from the 1914 report. “The drift on the 27-foot level has been run in to the north 12 feet; a sample taken across 20 inches at the face of the drift assayed: gold, 0-04 ounce; silver, 47-4 ounces; lead, 11-0 per cent.” “On the 50-foot level the drift extends 6 feet to the south: a sample was taken at the face here across a width of 22 inches which assayed: gold, 0-02 ounce; silver, 15 ounces.” A representative sample of broken ore collected by the writer from a small ore dump at the south shaft assayed: gold, 0-015 ounce a ton; silver, 8-82 ounces a ton; lead, 2-39 per cent; zinc, 0-26 per cent; copper, 0-18 per cent; arsenic, nil. A sample of somewhat similar broken ore, collected from the dump at the north shaft, assayed: gold, 0-02 ounce a ton; silver, 81-93 ounces a ton; lead, 6-90 per cent; zinc, 5-49 per cent; copper, 0°68 per cent; arsenic, 0:34 per cent. No. 2 vein is followed for about 100 feet along its strike by rock cuts and stripping. Where exposed, the vein ranges from 16 inches to 4 feet in width and carries about 1 per cent of sulphides, but some high-grade ore was removed from the main open-cut years ago. At elevation 2,550 feet, 125 feet vertically below the vein outcrop, an adit was run south 250 feet to intersect the vein and the vein was drifted along for 45 feet. At the end of the drift a crosscut runs 20 feet west to a branch vein, which is drifted along for 26 feet. Both veins range from 4 to 12 inches in width where exposed in the workings, and both are very sparsely mineralized. An 8-inch channel sample taken across the branch vein 15 feet from the face assayed: gold, a trace; silver, 0-23 ounce a ton. A crosscut extends an additional 80 feet east from the drift on the main vein, but cuts no other veins. No. 3 vein is exposed in trenches about 400 feet east of the portal of the adit to the No. 2 vein. It has been followed for about 200 feet up the mountainside, but the vein is mostly concealed now due to caving in of the trenches. At elevation 2,515 feet an adit was driven 32 feet towards
