Deposit WORKINGS ARE ALONG A HIGHLY ALTERED VEIN TRACEABLE ON SURFACE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS AS IT CROSSES BELL CANYON. VERY PROMINENT OUTCROP 40-50 FT WIDE IN PLACES, BUT THE MAIN ZONE OF INTEREST IS A HIGHLY SILICIFIED BRECCIA ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE VEIN, ABOUT 10 FT THICK. SAMPLE 3813 WAS CHIPPED FROM THIS EXPOSURE ABOVE A SMALL PROSPECT SHAFT
