13 T.27N R.8E and Sec. The explored reserves were estimated at between 120,000- 140,000 ounces. An exploration shaft was sunk in the NE SW Sec. The location of the prospect is given as SW SW Sec. 8 and NE Sec.
Gold is a minor component of the Pelican River massive sulfide body in Sec.
Thomas also reported the finding of flakes and nuggets in sediment in crevices and joints in the basalt bedrock in the St. Croix Dalles in SW Sec. R.18W. Residents would flock onto the outcrop in search of gold whenever the river level was low because of the closing of a logging dam upstream. Gold occurs as flakes and masses in the massive sulfide ore body of the Flambeau deposit south of Ladysmith. Tiny gold xls occur in quartz-rich gossan in the Bend deposit, NW sec. 2 T.32N. R.2W., northeast of Gilman.
