and ohalcopyrite., In places there is intergrowth of hornblende
and pyrite.

Near these quartz masses in the diorite there are two
or more circular areas about 50 feet in diameter that are largely
epidote. In the central part hornblende, chlorite, epidote,
Eyences magnetite, a little chalcopyrite, and probably ovher
uence s occur intermixed in varying proportions. The metallic
minerals also occur scattered in the country rock. The deposits
appear to be in the nature of segregations or replacements.

South of all these a shaft is sunk in rock which is
mainly dense to fine-grained, green material, in part diorite
and in part andesite, as well as some coarser dioritc, but no
true gneiss or schist. The veins are chiefly quartz, quartz-
calcite, or pegmatite, but other types of veins, including
epidote stringers, are present. In some of these and in the
' country rock pyrite similar to that in the deposits just
described has been found.

Several samples of the most highly mineralized rock
from various sections of the property yielded on assay
insignificant amounts of silver and gold. It is possible that
conditions at the time of mineralization in the eneiss-diorite
zone were unfavourable for the development of gold or silver
deposits. If this is the case no improvement cen be expected
at depth. In the andesite-diorite rock to the south farther
away from the main intrusive bodies mineral deposition is less
abundant and indicates that improvement in grade of ore may be
expected away from the contact.

property a shaft and a number of adits supplement excellent
natural exposures of a number of small copper-lead~zinc~silver

veins. A canyon 100 fcet deep on Anderson creek cuts through
