Anna Mack Claim (Locality 182)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1929.

The Anna Mack claim adjoins the Alice group on the southwest and
is about 2 miles north of Alice Arm. An open-cut exposes a sparsely
mineralized, 6-inch quartz vein in argillite.

B and C Group (Locality 157)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1916.

The B and C group of two claims is at an elevation of 1,000 feet on
the north side of Granite creek about half a mile from Kitsault river. The
country rock is argillite. The showing consists of a 6-inch quartz vein
containing a little arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and
calcite.

Basin Group (Locality 150)

References: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1924; Geol.
Surv., Canada, Sum. Rept. 1928, pt. A.

The Basin group of six mineral claims is on the grassy upland slopes
at timber-line on the divide between Goat and East creeks. The property
can be reached by a horse trail that ascends East creek or by a foot trail
up Goat creek. There is no bridge across Kitsault river at East creek so
horses must ford the stream. There is a cable ferry suitable for pedestrians
across Kitsault river near the mouth of East creek, and a good bridge has
been built over the river near Goat creek.

The country rock consists of augite porphyrite breccia and fine-
grained, crystalline rocks. The showings are near the western edge of the
Theophilus igneous body and a few hundred yards west are the underlying
argillites.

Several mineral deposits are present on the property. One deposit
consisting of quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, and sheared rock is
locally 20 feet wide. It is probably a replacement along a sheared zone.
Another deposit is a barren quartz-calcite vein 15 feet wide and probably
more than half a mile long. Another deposit is in a flat-lying shear zone
and consists of quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and tetrahedrite.
The exposed ore shoot is only 1 foot wide and 15 feet long but it consists
of very high-grade silver ore. The property is on the outskirts of the dis-
trict and because of this has received very little attention.

Beaver Extension Group (Locality 173)
Reference: Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, 1930.
The Beaver Extension group of six mineral claims is east of Iliance
river about 11 miles from Alice Arm. Volcanic rocks on the property are

mineralized with pyrite and quartz. The quartz of one exposure contains
a hydrocarbon probably anthraxolite.
