General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit ON THE TEMPEST FISSURE WHERE INTERSECTED AND OFFSET BY A LATER N10W AND A N50W FISSURE IN CONJUCTION WITH THE ORE. IN THIS DEPOSIT, MOST OF THE ORE OCCURS BETWEEN THE WALLS OF THE FISSURE WITH VERY SMALL MINOR REPLACEMENT AND BEDDED DEPOSITS. A SHAFT 80 FT WEST OF THE INMAN VEIN IS ON A N46W FISSURE, NEARLY VERTICAL, 10-18 INCHES WIDE, CARRYING OXIDIZED COPPER ORE.
