Comments on the geologic information

  • DIKES CUT MASS OF SERPENTINE AND SCHIST. PROSPECTING THROUGH 1931 WAS DONE WITH IDEA THAT CLAYEY ORE WAS RESULT OF FAULT-DRAG FROM QUARTZ VEINS IN DIKES.

NEAR YELLOW ROSE MINE, EAST SIDE OF DIKE CONTAINS HORNBLENDE PRISMS AND IS THE "CROW'S FOOT PORPHYRY" OF THE PROSPECTOR. WEST SIDE SHOWS BIOTITE AND SOME QUARTZ. DIKE MINERALIZED WHERE CUT BY SIDE FISSURES. RICH SHOOTS OF CLAYEY MATERIAL. DIPPING 45 N. CHARACTERIZE FISSURE INTERSECTIONS. DIKE IS CAMPTONITE ON EAST SIDE, KEVSANTITE ON WEST SIDE. SOFT OXIDIZED MATERIAL YIELDED RICH ORE.
