Analytical data

Result ROCK SAMPLES NO. 2 AND NO. 3 FROM ADIT. SAMPLE NO. 2 FROM IRON-STAINED 6 IN CALCITE VEIN 15 FT IN FROM PORTAL: 0.2 OZ/TON (6.9 PPM) AG. SAMPLE NO. 3 FROM BRECCIATED FACE OF ADIT IS LIMESTONE WITH CALCITE AND LIMONITE BRECCIA: 0.1 OZ/TON (3.4 PPM) AG. ANOMALIES IN SOIL SAMPLES: AG IN SOIL SAMPLES WAS 2.1 TO 2.6 PPM, CU IN ONE SOIL SAMPLE WAS 55 PPM. SOIL SAMPLES WERE TAKEN BY SATKOSKI AND SOKASKI (1980) ALONG LINE WHICH CROSSES NORTHERN PARTS OF VICTOR HUGO AND MAHOGANY NO. 2 CLAIMS AND THE INTERVENING AREA.
