ounce gold and 0-05 ounce silver a ton. The first sample was taken on the
north side of the vein adjoining the granodiorite, and the third was adjacent
to the quartz albite dyke.

During the summer of 1914 when the shaft was only 12 feet deep Mr.
W. M. Brewer took a sample at the bottom across 4 feet which assayed gold
0-22 ounce and silver 0-8 ounce to the ton.

Two additional samples were taken by the writer across the quartz
vein on the south side of the quartz albite dyke at a point about opposite
the 40-foot shaft. A sample across 15 inches adjacent to the dyke
assayed 0-345 ounce of gold and 0-16 ounce of silver a ton. A sample
across the remaining 20 inches of the vein gave no gold and only a trace
of silver.

About 500 feet farther east at an elevation of 975 feet, recent work has
disclosed a 3-foot quartz vein on the north side of the dyke. It is en-
closed in a dark green, somewhat schistose, quartz diorite and lies parallel
to, but is 5 feet distant from, the quartz albite dyke. It was in this
neighbourhood that the provincial resident engineer collected in 1927 a
sample across 14 feet of decomposed quartz, with the following assay
results: gold, 1 ounce to the ton; silver, 4 ounces to the ton; lead, nil; and
zine, 1 per cent.

Zymoetz Group

Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, B.C., 1934, p. C 4.

The Zymoetz group, owned by T. M. Turner of Terrace, is on the
north side of Zymoetz river, about 8 miles east by road from Terrace.
The prospect workings are just above the river on both sides of the newly
constructed road to the Dardanelle property and are about one mile
east of the Zymoetz River bridge.

A quartz vein is exposed in the bed of a small stream about 60 feet
above Zymoetz river. The vein strikes across the creek and may be
followed for about 50 feet on each side of the stream. The vein strikes
east and dips 75 degrees north. The country rock is a medium-grained
quartz diorite. Where the vein crosses the creek it is split into two parts
for a short distance, each part being about 8 inches wide and separated
by 3 feet of quartz diorite. The vein is well mineralized with sphalerite,
pyrite, and some galena. The vein is exposed by open-cuts 200 feet west of
the stream and there is 2 feet wide and heavily mineralized with coarse
pyrite. Down stream from the outcrop an adit 65 feet long was driven
north to intersect the vein. Where the vein is cut, 55 feet from the
entrance, it has a width of over 2 feet and is mineralized with sphalerite,
pyrite, and a little galena. A 28-inch channel sample taken by the writer
across the vein on the west wall assayed: gold, 0:08 ounce to the ton;
silver, 0°15 ounce to the ton; zinc, 0-32 per cent; lead, a trace.

About 300 feet farther up the stream and 150 feet vertically above
the vein just described is another quartz vein on which a 6-foot adit has
been driven east from the stream bed. Here the vein is 24 inches wide and
the quartz is well mineralized with pyrite and small amounts of finely
crystalline magnetite. It strikes roughly east and west and dips 35 to 40
degrees north. A 23-inch channel sample taken across the vein in the
