Silver Wing and Copper Crest Claims (Locality 158)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The Silver Wing and Copper Crest claims are west of Kitsault river
and about 5 miles from Alice Arm. The deposits lie in argillite near the
contact of the Coast Range batholith. The mineral deposit on the Silver
Wing consists of quartz stringers in a sheared zone. The quartz contains
some pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. The same minerals
occur in small quantity on the Copper Crest claim.

Speculator No. 2 Claim (Locality 155)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1925 and 1926.

The Speculator No. 2 mineral claim adjoins and lies south of the
LaRose group. A pit sunk in drift disclosed a quartz-sulphide vein con-
taining high values in silver. The vein is only a foot or so wide but con-
tains pyrite, galena, and tetrahedrite, and resembles rather closely the
LaRose vein.

Standard Group (Locality 176)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1918, 1922, 1926

and 1927 ;

The Standard group of four mineral claims is on McGrath mountain
and adjoins and lies south of the Sunrise group. The McGrath Mountain
trail passes near the Standard mineral showings. The deposit is a quartz
vein mineralized with sphalerite and on casual inspection appears to be
of large size. Apparently, however, the vein is nearly horizontal and its
width is not nearly as great as it seems to be.

Starlight Group (Locality 138)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1913 and 1916.

The Starlight group, formerly the Prince Rupert and Vancouver
mineral claims, adjoins and lies northwest of the Racehorse claim. It is
reported that quartz veins holding pyrite and chalcopyrite occur.

Summit Group (Locality 130)
References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1921, 1923, and
1930.

The Summit group of two mineral claims is north of the Chance
group between Clearwater and Trout creeks. The property can be reached
by a short trail branching from the Chance trail at the Chance cabins.

The principal mineral deposit is a mineralized zone in breccias. The
mineral body is several feet wide, is vertical, and strikes north-northeast.
It contains some quartz but is mainly country rock mineralized with
galena and sphalerite. Development work consists of short adits and
numerous open-cuts.
