| Relative position | These quartz veins are apparently about 1/2 mile south of Mount McDonell on the Canada-United States border. Their location is approximate and they may actually be on the Canadian side of the border. This is location 38 of Berg and others (1981). Smith (1932) refers to a Stampede group of claims,'... adjacent to the international boundary north of Haines, both in Canada and in Alaska.' Eakin's (1918; 1919) mention of gold-quartz ledges at an elevation of about 4,500 feet in the mountains north of the lower end of the Jarvis Glacier apparently applies to mineral occurrences in Canada, immediately west of the International border. |

| Deposit | Model Name = Auriferous quartz vein (Cox and Singer, 1986; models 22c or 36a). |
| Deposit | Other Comments = This is the northwesternmost auriferous quartz vein occurrence within the zone of lode mineralization that appears to have been the source for the gold placers in the Porcupine area that includes Porcupine Creek (SK041), McKinley Creek (SK045), Cahoon Creek (SK044), and Glacier Creek (SK065). |
