Comments on the geologic information

  • THE INCLINE WAS SUNK ON THE 75-80 DEGREES SW DIPPING VEIN SYSTEM. SAMPLE 4207 FROM THE DUMP. ABOUT 2000 FEET FURTHER SOUTH ARE THREE SHAFTS THAT APPEAR TO BE ON THE SAME N 10 DEGREES W VEIN. AGAIN THE VEIN IS BADLY CRUSHED BUT THE LOCALITY HAS A WELL DEVELOPED QUARTZ COMPONENT.
