The average assay values of mino samples across an averago width
of 1.82 fect were: silver, 43.82 ounces a ton, lead, 9:98 per

cent, and zinc, 9.67 per cent. The voins on the property occur

in sedimentary tuffs at the contact with granodiorite. The latter,
where struck in the workings, was not penetrated by the veins.

The operation was unsatisfactory and showed that a profit could

not be made under the conditions existing at that time.

Other Beoperties: A number of other properties occur on
Ninemile, Fourmile, and Glen mountains. On several properties
considerable work has been done and some have had a small
production. In the main the deposits are similar in nature and
size to those of the Silver Standard and Silver Cup and carry

similar values. They include: American Boy,+ Sunrise,

From a distance the high southern peak of the mountains
west of Skeena river appears to be in part intrusive and the
bedded rocks nearby appear to dip outward. Coal formations are
reported to occur on the southern slope. At the foot of a large
hill ee Skeena river is located the Silver Bell deposit.
eaeuedtine in the mountains to the west is reported to have

yielded poor results.
