evidence visible in 1934 did not clearly indicate that displacement
was in this direction.

In 1924 twenty-six tons of ore which required very little
sorting, held per ton: 0.73 ounce gold, 12.7 ounces silver, and

22.44 per cent copper.

the mining company showed that the rocks on the Cordillera are
volcanics, largely dacite and andesite, cut by fine-grained dykes
of at least four kinds, namely, rhyolite porphyry, hornblende
granite porphyry, hornblende-oligoclase diorite, ana granite
porphyry. The rhyolite porphyry and the hornblende granite
porphyry may cut the mineral deposits. The rocks in places are
schistose and considerably altered. Faults, some earlier, others
later, than the mineralization, are numerous.

At the surface one vein, in places up to 10 feet wide
but averaging about 4 feet in the central part, was traced 500
feet and three others of good size were opened up. The main vein
carried in one place 0.40 ounce gold, 5.8 ounces of silver a ton,
and 7.1 per cent in copper. The minerals include quartz, bornite,
chalcocite, and coarse, free gold. It is said that the gold goes
with the copper. Extensive underground work on the property was
very discouraging. Veins were picked up on two levels 150 feet
avd 230 feet below the showings on the main vein. In the upper
level the main vein, which dips 35 degrees, was drifted on for 150
feet. For about 75 feet to the south it is 1 to 2 feet wide but
pinches out in this direction, and for a similar distance to the
north there are only small lenses. No sulphides were noted in the
quartz. This vein shows a fair amount of regularity, apparently

occupying a fault confined to the softer schists.
