to be representative of one of the best veins assayed 0.26 ounce
gold and 6.74 ounces of silver a ton. Channel samples are
reported to assay from a trace to somewhat over 1.5 ounce in gold
and selected samples have yiclded over 6 ounces.

The veins occur in a heavily wooded area where rock
exposures arc mainly of the diorite and the individual exposures
are small. They extend up the slope for about 1,000 feet and
over a vertical range of 600 to 800 fect. The main showings occur
along the hillslope for a few hundred feet. Above the main
workings the showings are largely confined to one dyke 100 fect
wide in the upper part and possibly 200 fcet or more wide near
the main workings.

At the main workings very little rock is exposed and it
is not possible to determine how many separate bodies cf diorite
there are, nor to what oxtent they arc offset by faulting. The
best veins that have been discovered have been disclosed by
stripping. Some veins and zones of veins have widths up to 5
feet and in one place 10 to 15 feet. The veins and zones are
irregular in trend, width, and in extent of mineralization, and
are faulted. In places, allowing for faulting, the mineralization FF
continues for at least 30 feet, but in other places the deposits
seem to be very short. Where exposed the main deposits, together
with smaller veins, constitute a small percentage of the total
area of diorite.
