sharp, Jagged. crest, there are more
than a dozen parallel assures from a
few inches IN width up to several feet
The largest of them is a shattered
zone occupying the crest Of the dyke.
Each assure is easily traceable over
distances ranging from a few hundred
to fully 5000 feet. A singular charac-
tertstic Of the assures is that each has
d generally uniform strike of north, %
degrees east, and which is in harmony
with the strike OF. the previously de
scribed faUlt-escaFDment about 1000
feet distant to the north. Each assure
contains a band of gold-bearing quartz
with, generally, one or two feet of min
eralized granite on each side. The gold
is generally associated with cubes Of
hematite, although isolated. grains and
nuggets of gold are frequently found in
the quartz and mineralized granite
which often pans freely. The assures
are, doubtless, shearing planes; caused
by the cooling, shrinking and settling
OF the dyke, and incidental slight paraI-
lei faulting. One of the assures is
shearing planes and presents the ap-
pearance Of thin slabs 4set on edge"
each slab being a section of the vein
and containing its individual. proportion
Of gold values. The values are more or
less associated with f1uor-spar. whether
in quartz or mineraIized granite
The large space devoted to the Gran
lite Spring division seems to be justified
by the unique conditions in which the
values occur.

District Wonderful.

Owing to the very small amount Of
prospecting work performed-no deveI-,
Opment work has been done-any Opin-f
ion as TO the future of the district must
be based on geological conditions which
are certainly in its favor. Nature rank-
~ sets up such guide posts" to the
precious metals as are here found with
out legitimate results being also pres
emit .6
The values are almost exclusively
gold. One assay Of gold pan concen-
trates. at the ratio of 10 to I, gave
returns of $500 in gold and 3.S ounces
Of silver per ton. The tailings con
tanned $33 gold per ton and which
could not be collected. The ore was
exceptionally good-s- Concentrates from
lower-grade ore-mineraIized granite
resulted in a similar proportion Of saw

great and pleasant surprises await the
scratching of the suTfaC - conditions
seem to warrant the prediction that
earnest development work viii be nee
essary to achieve satisfactory results
Small springs of good water exist at
convenient distances. And there is lit

comparatively shallow weIIs can be OBJ

The River Range.

The River range consists principally
of granite material marked here and
there by dykes of trap, belts of high
~ altered shist and other material. The
mineral bearing veins are not grouped,
but occupy positions widely separated,
and carry values ranging from trace
to $50 per ton in gold which, occasion
ally. is associated with a little lead.
In localities not far distant from the
main body Of the mountain, in the re-
gion of probable overflows, are numer-
Gus small veins, carrying good values,
that bear the unihistakable earmarks
of 'gashes."
