Deposit A FEW BLOCKS OF CHROMITE OCCUR AT ONE PLACE, AND AT THE OTHER ABOUT 200 POUNDS OF ORE IN CHUNKS UP TO 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER WAS SCATTERED OVER A FEW SQUARE YARDS. ORE ASSAYED ONLY 37.8% CR2O3. BELIEVED THAT THE FLOAT MUST INDICATE A SMALL ORE BODY IN PLACE AND SURFACE TRENCHING WAS RECOMMENDED.
