General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit DRIFT ALONG QUARTZ VEIN ALONG CONTACT OF TAN PAPER SHALE AND MEDIUM-GRAINED GRANO-DIORITE DIKE; DIKE WEATHERS PULL LIGHT BROWN. VEIN CONSISTS OF QUARTZ STRINGERS IN 2-3 FT ZONE OF CRUSHED SHALE. INCLINE WINZE GOES DOWN ABOUT 50 FT WITH SOME STOPING UP FROM WINZE. WORKINGS TO THE EAST, UP THE HILL, DO NOT SHOW QUARTZ IN FACE, BUT THEY HAVE QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL ON THEIR DUMP. AT EASTERN MOST WORKINGS, HORNFELS WALLROCK IS LACED WITH PYRITE VEINLETS.
