very difficult. Glacial drift appears to be thick, except over some of the
exposures, and a small creek flowing through the property has cut a channel
10 feet deep in the drift.

GEOLOGY

10) he only rocks exposed are hornblende diorite, contact metamorphic
rock (principally garnet), and small apophyses of granite cutting the diorite.
Neither limestone nor voleanic rocks occur, as far as could be observed.
Most of the exposures are isolated, and magnetite is in contact with diorite
at only one place. The relationship of the granite apophyses to the
diorite is the same as that observed in the Bald Eagle, and as that suggested
for the Crown Prince.

OCCURRENCE OF THE MAGNETITE

The magnetite occurs in four isolated exposures, strung out for 250
feet in a northwesterly-southeasterly direction, principally in contact with
contact metamorphosed rock (largely garnet). The host rock of the
magnetite is not known, and no structure that has so far led to its recogni-
tion is preserved in the magnetite. All that can be said of the occurrence
is that the magnetite is found exposed in four bodies showing no connexion
with one another, and indicating nothing with respect to the attitude or
structure of the deposit as a whole.

CHARACTER OF THE MAGNETITE
The magnetite is much purer than on the Bald Eagle or Crown Prince
claims. It is much more solid, is generally free from sulphides, but is
mixed with various amounts of garnet. What is mapped as magnetite
contains less than 25 per cent by volume of admixed garnet.

ORIGIN OF THE DEPOSIT
No assured mode of origin can be assigned to this deposit as a result
of the data obtained from the investigation. The characteristic association
of magnetite, garnet, and hornblende diorite, however, suggests a contact
metamorphic origin similar to the Crown Prince and Bald Hagle, but the
absence of unaltered limestone or volcanics prevents a statement of the
nature of the replacement.

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Extent of Deposit
The four outcrops of magnetite have the following approximate surface

dimensions:
Feet Square feet

45 x 10 = 450
30 X 10 = 300

25 10 = 250

Total area 1,390
At the edge of the most northwesterly exposure there is a shaft,
believed to be from 15 to 20 feet deep, full of caved rock at the bottom.
Since there is magnetite exposed for its full depth, there is r' sason to believe
that that body of magnetite has a surface area of 450 square feet and a
