48 (101) Adonis Mineral Claim, Ikeda Bay, Moresby Island The Adonis claim is crossed at an elevation of 400 feet by the trail from Ikeda bay to Jedway. The outcrops of magnetite are about 13 miles from Ikeda bay by the trail, commence 20 feet south of the trail, and extend southward, uphill, over a length of 175 feet along a nearly straight course. The difference in elevation between the lowest and highest outcrops is 85 feet. The magnetite as indicated by a series of natural and artificial exposures, occurs in a sharply defined, dyke-like body dipping westerly at a high angle and lying in dark porphyrites such as elsewhere are associated with the Triassic strata. Where exposures of the magnetite are lacking, its existence is indicated by a low, narrow ridge and there can be no doubt that the magnetite body is at least 175 feet long. The width of the body varies between 5 feet and 7 feet, except towards the south end of the line of outcrops where, possibly, it decreases to 2 or 3 feet. The magnetite for the most part 1s very fine grained and nearly free from ee tie In places a little pyrite is present and small amounts of quartz, garnet, ete. At one outcrop the magnetite body along one edge seemed to quickly shade into the adjoining porphyrite and presumably the whole deposit is of the nature of a replacement. Unless the magnetite body widens greatly with depth or is much longer than the exposures indicate, the amount of iron ore present cannot be very large. It is possible that the higher and apparently narrower parts of the mass do not represent the end of the body along the strike but along a vertical direction. They may belong to the upper part of the mass. It is reasonable to assume that at least 4,000 tons of iron ore is present above the level of the lowest outcrop. Below that level a body with an average thickness of 5 feet and length of 200 feet would contain 10,000 to 15,000 tons for every 100 feet in depth. (10 m) Chrysanthemum Group, Ikeda Bay, Moresby Island (See Figure 7) LOCATION AND HISTORY The Chrysanthemum group of aera claims is owned by Awaya, Ikeda, and Company, of Vancouver. The claims lie on the north face of the ridge rising from the south shore of Ikeda bay.
