gold, a trace; silver, 0-91 ounce a ton; lead, 0-29 per cent. In the cut
45 feet farther east there are two parallel sheared zones 6 feet apart that
strike south 60 degrees west and dip 40 degrees southeast. The upper
zone ranges from 6 to 12 inches in width and the lower from 12 to 16 inches
in width. The zones consist of silicified, sheared andesite that contains
up to 10 per cent of arsenopyrite with small amounts of galena, sphalerite,
and tetrahedrite. A 15-inch channel sample taken across the lower zone
in the floor of the cut assayed: gold, 0-0075 ounce a ton; silver, 10-70
ounces a ton; lead, 0-42 per cent.

In an open-cut 160 feet farther down the slope there is a sheared zone
.15 feet wide that is mineralized throughout with a little arsenopyrite,
galena, and sphalerite. In the lowest cut 50 feet farther down the slope,
the sheared zone is 12 feet wide and is only sparsely mineralized with
arsenopyrite.

In the west end of a 47-foot crosscut trench, 100 feet up the slope
from the first described open-cut, there is a 12-inch zone containing up to
10 per cent of sulphides, most of which is arsenopyrite. Several, small,
sparsely mineralized, sheared zones are exposed in the east end of the
trench. The zone is also located by an open-cut 70 feet farther up the
hill, but this cut was caved at the time of our visit. The zone is not
exposed for 500 feet up the slope, but is seen on the shoulder of a ridge
at 5,535 feet elevation. From the shoulder of the ridge it continues for
several hundred feet along the precipitous east wall of a deep glacial cirque.
Where examined on the shoulder of the ridge, it ranges from 4 to 12 inches
in width and consists of silicified andesite carrying up to 10 per cent of
arsenopyrite with a little galena and sphalerite. A 12-inch channel
sample taken across this zone in a small cut on the south side of the ridge
assayed: gold, 0-005 ounce a ton; silver, 1-08 ounces a ton.

The Carroll property is on the south slope of Mount Evelyn, on the
north side of Toboggan Creek, 7 miles due northwest of Smithers. A branch
trail leaves the main Toboggan Creek trail at elevation 3,900 feet and leads
northeast along the slope to the camp at elevation 4,200 feet,

The claims are underlain by andesitic voleanic rocks intruded by
granodiorite stocks and aplitic dykes. Several hundred feet below the
camp the volcanic rocks are in contact with the older sedimentary rocks
that occupy the lower slopes of the valley of Toboggan Creek.

In 1917, Mr. Jobe prospected two galena veins at elevations of 4,600
and 5,200 feet by two adits 100 feet and 90 feet in length, respectively.
The veins in both adits are greatly leached, but selected samples showed
that they were composed of argentiferous galena with a low gold content.
Both veins are short and discontinuous.

During 1928, Mount Evelyn Mines, Limited, drove a 210-foot crosscut
adit into the mountain in andesite at elevation 4,100 feet. At 108 feet
from the portal a drift was run 55 feet northeast along a sheared, altered,
and silicified alaskite dyke. The dyke strikes north 50 degrees east and
