to the contact between the igneous and sedimentary rocks. It is 15 feet
or less in width and has been traced on the surfact for 750 feet where it
strikes north 60 degrees west and dips steeply southwest. The outcrop
inclines uphill from southeast to northwest and its upper end is 275 feet
above the lower. The deposit is well mineralized with pyrite and chalco-
pyrite. Quartz, calcite, and barite are present but the gangue matter is
probably chiefly country rock. On the whole the deposit is vein-like, but
locally it consists of a strip of country rock containing many narrow
stringers of chalcopyrite striking and dipping in all directions. A good
shoot of ore is exposed on the surface about midway between the top and
bottom open-cut. It is 3 to 12 feet wide and 200 feet or more long.

Two crossecut adits have been driven under this ore shoot. In the
upper adit the shoot was encountered about 50 feet below the surface and
was followed by a drift for 50 feet. Good chalcopyrite ore occurs only
in the end of the drift and by its position suggests that the ore shoot
plunges northwestward. In the lower adit, the deposit was encountered
185 feet below the surface and was followed northwest by a drift 85 feet
long. The end of the drift is 225 feet below the surface. In this working
the ore-body is locally 15 feet wide and contains several bands up to 2 feet
wide of good copper ore.

The rocks in the lower adit are distinctly sheared and the shearing is
parallel to the ore-body. Several ribs of quartz lying parallel with the
shearing occur in the crosscut part of the adit and suggest that other
mineral deposits may exist parallel to the one under development.

Vanguard Extension Group (Locality 127)

1928.

The Vanguard Extension group of mineral claims adjoins and lies
south of the Vanguard group, The main mineral body of the Vanguard
eroup strikes toward the Vanguard Extension and may continue into that
croup. Pyrite and chalcopyrite have been found on the Vanguard Exten-
sion but no definite body of ore has yet been outlined.

Verona Group (Locality 188)

9?

The Verona group of two mineral claims is at the head of the south-
west fork of Lime creek. The deposit consists of a quartz vein up to 2 feet
wide adjoining a 6-foot felsite dyke in argillite. The vein contains pyrite,
galena, and sphalerite.

War Dance Group (Locality 163)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1919.

The War Dance group of six mineral claims is on the northwest side
of Dak river about 7 miles from Alice Arm. The mineral deposit consists
of quartz veins up to 2 feet wide in argillite, containing pyrite, chalco-
pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. ©
