vein would be to carry out some more work and thoroughly sample the
whole of it.”

Proserpine East Claim. Working No. 13. Three small open-cuts
in quartzite striking southeast. In the westernmost cut, a B vein 15 inches
wide strikes north of east, is visible over a length of 10 feet, and at the
southwest end is offset a foot or so. The middle cut lies 30 feet southeast-
ward from the westernmost cut, and in it a B vein 15 inches wide is visible
from a length of 7 feet. The easternmost cut is 80 feet north of east from
the middle cut and in it are visible fragments of a B vein. The quartz
of the three veins contains galena and ankerite.

Working No. 14. Two small open-cuts expose a set of irregular
quartz stringers containing pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Britisher Claim. Working No. 15. A partly caved, short tunnel
running eastward shows two A veins, one at the face and the other 35 feet
from the face. Pyrite is abundant in the veins.

Warspite Claim. Working No. 16. A small open-cut in quartzite
striking southesterly. Three parallel B veins striking northeastward are
visible from lengths of 20 to 25 feet. The westernmost is 15 inches wide;
the middle one lies 10 feet to the southeast, is 24 inches wide, and carries
arsenopyrite, galena, and pyrite; the easternmost vein lies 1 foot south-
east of the middle vein and is 3 inches wide.

Working No. 17. A tunnel 68 feet long and running northeastward.
On the northwest wall 25 feet from the entrance a 4-foot A vein striking
west-northwestward is intercepted by a 2-foot B vein striking east of north.
In the floor, 38 feet from the entrance, a hole 18 inches deep shows quartz
with pyrite. On the northwest wall, opposite this hole, is visible a narrow
B vein, and on the same wall 42 feet from the entrance is a 14-inch A vein.
From this point, for 26 feet to the face of the tunnel, mixed quartz or quartz
stringers and decomposed quartzite is visible.

Working No. 18. An open-cut 110 feet long running northeastward.
Quartzite striking southeast is exposed on one side. An A vein 5 feet
wide, without visible sulphides, crosses the cut with a northwest strike.

Working No. 19. A shaft 31 feet deep. An A vein strikes south-
east from the shaft; it is 6 to 7 feet wide at the outcrop and 123 feet
wide at the bottom of the shaft. Two B veins, striking southwest and
4 feet apart, extend to the A vein close to the shaft. One B vein is 18
inches wide, the other 10 inches wide. The A vein is mineralized with
galena, pyrite, sphalerite, and some arsenopyrite near the junction with the
B veins.

Working No. 21. An open-cut now caved and full of water. A vein
in the bottom is said to be 18 feet wide with schist partings. It consists
of A quartz, calcareous with moulds of pyrite crystals; contains some
foliated galena as seen on the dump.

Tipperary Claim. Working No. 22. A ledge of A quartz said to be
15 feet wide with schist partings. Quartz on the dump shows some pyrite.
The quartz ledge is not now exposed.

Vimy Ridge Claim. Working No. 23. An open-cut 50 feet long
running about north-northwest and traversed over its whole length by
an A vein 7 feet wide at the southeast end of the cut and decreasing to a
