The veins on the Acme group occupy fractures of two different directions. The
quartz of both sets of veins is mineralized with pyrite and galena, but most visible gold
appears to have come from the northerly striking veins. The two directions of frac-
turing and the gold mineralization close to the Last Chance-Nelson Creek fault suggest
that further prospecting along the fault-zone might disclose additional areas of frac-
turing containing gold-bearing veins. Although the pyrite content of the veins is
small, the constant association of gold with pyrite should provide sufficient encourage-
ment to search for veins in which the pyrite content is greater.

The Dominion Nos. 1 to 6 and Dominion Nos. 25 and 26 Crown-

Dominion . granted Mineral Claims (Lots 11404 to 11411) are held by J. E. Mac-

(16). Alpine, 800 Hall Building, Vancouver. These claims were formerly

held by Cariboo Ledge Mines Company, Limited, who built the camp

buildings and did the underground work. The claims are on the south side of Light-

ning Creek and extend uphill on both sides of Anderson Creek. Camp buildings on Lot

11404 are reached by a short road which branches from the highway a few hundred feet
west of Davis Creek.

The north-east half of Lot 11404 is underlain by grey flaggy quartzites and
squeezed pebble conglomerate. The pebbles of the conglomerate are pea size and are of
quartz. These rocks are overlain by about 100 feet of limestone which outcrops in the
canyon on Anderson Creek near the eastern boundary of Lot 11404. The limestone in
turn is overlain by bright-green chlorite schist which grades upward into brownish-
weathering chlorite schist and quartzite. The belt of chloritic rocks appears to be 1,500
feet or more wide. The rocks strike north to north 30 degrees west and dip from 20
to 40 degrees westward. The claims lie on the south-west side of the major anticlinal
axis, but the limestone and chloritic schists are not repeated on the north-east side.

The workings consist of two adits in the eastern corner of Lot 11410, about 20 feet
above Lightning Creek. The rock exposed in the two adits is hard, massive, light-grey,
quartz, pea-pebble conglomerate.

The eastern adit was driven 100 feet south 14 degrees west following a quartz vein
3 to 20 inches wide that dips 75 degrees east. A sample of almost pure pyrite 47 feet
from the portal assayed: Gold, trace; silver, 0.3 oz. per ton. At 70 feet from the portal
a crosscut was driven 25 feet west. It crosses a parallel vein 6 inches wide and an
irreeular pattern of 2- to 8-inch quartz stringers very sparingly mineralized with
quartz. A sample containing about one-third pyrite from the 6-inch parallel vein
assayed: Gold, 0.03 oz. per ton; silver, nil.

The portal of the second adit is 41 feet north 56 degrees west from the portal of
the eastern adit. It is driven 32 feet south 39 degrees west along a vein that dips 70
degrees south-eastward. The vein at the portal is about 3 feet wide but narrows to 6
to 20 inches at the face. There is also an isolated 3-foot mass of quartz on the west wall
at the face. The quartz is sparsely mineralized with pyrite. A selected sample of
quartz containing about 10 per cent. pyrite from the vein on the east side of the face
assayed: Gold, nil; silver, 0.6 oz. per ton. A selected sample of rusty quartz on the
west side of the face assayed: Gold, trace; silver, 0.1 oz. per ton.

The company, care of J. C. Oswald, 703 Royal Trust Building, Van-

Cariboo couver, owns seven Crown-granted mineral claims (Lots 11350 to 11355

Amalgamated and 9448 and 9444) extending along Devils Lake Creek. The claims

Gold Mines, are largely underlain by the several bands of black argillaceous quartzite

Ltd. (47). that may be seen outcropping along the road north of the Public Works

camp. On the north side of the road the rocks strike about north 35

degrees west, dip 30 to 50 degrees north-eastward, and lie on the north side of a drag-
fold whose axis pitches 25 degrees east through Lots 11351 and 11355.

Most of the work was done on the Eldorado claim (Lot 11350) and along the south
boundary of Lot 9443. Numerous sloughed open-cuts north of the Public Works camp
on Lot 11350 indicate the presence of a number of quartz veins having widths of 2 feet
