DESCRIPTIONS OF LODE DEPOSITS

_The Fairview group of claims is on the east bank of

Slate Creek about a mile above its mouth. In the summer of
1944 these claims were owned by Jack Mullen of Manson Creek.

The deposit comprises three lensy quartz veins and
several stringers of quartz lying within a northwesterly
trending shear zone in green, schistose andesite of the Cache
Creek group. This shear zone is probably.a subsidiary of the
main Manson fault zone.’ Most of the shearing has been .
obliterated by later hydrothermal alteration of the andesite
to massive, buff-coloured, carbonate-quartz-chlorite-mariposite
rocks, across widths:of 50 to 150 feet. These altered rocks
grade into andesite on the northeast and serpentine on the.
southwest. The most persistent quartz vein averages 1.5 feet
in width for a length. of about 200 feet. ASHE
In its central part thé vein-is 6 feet wide. It
consists of grey, vitreous quartz sparingly mineralized with
chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, and minor azurite, malachite, and
pyrite. } A sample of selected mineral from the best mineralized

— This property, owned by C. Farrell of Manson Creek,
lies on the east side of Germansen River approximately 3 miles
above its mouth.

1: Three quartz veins are reported to outcrop on these
claims, but only one was examined during the summer of 1944.
Information on the other two is taken from the Annual Report
of the B.C. Minister of Mines for 1938. The veins occur in
“partly carbonatized and silicified, sheared, green andesite.
The shearing strikes northwest and probably represents sub-
sidiary movements related to the main Manson fault zone. The
vein examined is 2.feet wide, strikes north 39 degrees west,
dips. steeply northeast, and is composed of milky white quartz
mineralized with tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite,
and free gold. A grab sample assayed: gold, 0.345 ounce to the
ton; silver, 0.66 ouncé to the ton. A sample across 2 feet
assayed: gold, 0.8 ounce to the ton; silver 1.6 ounces to the
