Subject category Comment text
Deposit E-W VEIN STRUCTURE. CENTRAL PORTION CHARACTERIZED BY A MILKY WHITE COMB QUARTZ VEIN CONTAINING SPECKS OF BLACK SILVER SULFIDES. SAMPLE 3906 WAS FROM A SMALL ADIT AND SHAFT WHERE THE SUBSURFACE WORKINGS ARE CONNECTED. THE QUARTZ ORE ASSAYED 2000 PPM AG AND 2.1 PPM AU. SAMPLE 3907 CAME FROM ANOTHER SHAFT AND ADIT A FEW HUNDRED FEET TO THE SE ON THE TONY PAH PATENT, AND CONSISTED OF MILKY WHITE COMB QUARTZ FROM A VEIN IN THE ADIT. SOME OF THE VEIN GOUGE AND WALLROCK APPEARED TO BE A WHITE, VERY HIGHLY ALTERED TUFF.
