General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit AN AREA OF MASSIVE CALCITE 25 FT WIDE, 50 FT FROM THE FACE, MAY POSSIBLY CORRELATE WITH THE SPAR VEIN IN THE JENNIE MINE. A CALCITE VEIN CONTAINING MANGANESE OXIDES, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE JENNIE VEIN, WAS INTERSECTED 520 FT FROM THE PORTAL AND ADRIFT WAS DRIVEN ALONG IT TO THE NORTH FOR 170 FT.
