Copper Cliff Mines, Limited (Locality 92)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1910.

The holdings of Copper Cliff Mines, Limited, consist of three claims on
the east side of Bear river 1 mile from its mouth. A vein up to 4 feet wide
has been traced for 600 feet. Where exposed in an adit the vein is 2 feet
wide and carries values in copper, silver, and gold.

Copper King Group (Locality 82)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918.

The Copper King group of four claims is east of the Ruth and Francis
group on upper Glacier creek. A vein is reported to be 10 feet wide.

Dalhousie and Rock of Ages Groups (Locality 57)

The holdings of the Dalhousie Mining Company consist of the Dal-
housie and Rock of Ages groups situated on the west side of Bear river
opposite Bear lake. Mineral deposits are exposed at 2,600 feet and at 4,000
feet above sea-level. Development work so far has not been extensive but
has been done in many places, and as a result several mineral deposits,
apparently distinct from one another, are known, but no one deposit has
been clearly outlined.

The ground is underlain by volcanic rocks of the Hazelton group that
above timber-line strike northeast along the hillside and dip northwestward
at moderate angles. Lower down the slope the attitude of the strata is
unknown. A large open-cut at an elevation of 2,600 feet exposes volcanic
rocks mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite over an area 25 feet in
diameter. Similar mineralization has been found northwestward in open-
cuts respectively 100 and 200 feet higher. The outlines of the mineralized
area or areas have not been traced and, therefore, the length and width of
the body or bodies is in doubt. Assay values of $12 in gold, silver, and
copper, in samples from the lowest open-cut, have been reported.

Two vein-like deposits have been uncovered a short distance above
the camp. One contains pyrite and chalcopyrite and is 6 feet wide. The
other contains hematite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite and is perhaps 10 feet
wide. Three rusty, bleached zones outcrop 1,400 feet above the camp. The
zones are from 40 to 100 feet thick, are about 100 feet apart, and conform
to the strike and dip of the rocks. The central zone contains considerable
sphalerite and galena and is clearly a replacement deposit along a par-
ticular bed of rock. Several other veins and replacement deposits occur
on the property.

Docia Property (Locality 24)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1929.

The Docia property adjoins and lies east of the Red Top group on
Bear river. A galena vein up to 14 inches wide and containing a little
pyrite and chalcopyrite is exposed in two open-cuts 50 feet apart.
