i for the most part within the lines OF
the Union Blue claim and known as
the Union Blue workings of the Hon

consists of vertical shaft 80 feet in
depth with cross-cut drift to the
southwest % feet, at point 81 feet
from the surface to tie floor of the
drift. This cross-cut disclosed vein
of unknown width, so far as demon
strated, at this date, which shows
small kindneys or punches OF high
grade copper, gold ore. Assays from
this ore taken from this work showed
values over 40 per cent copper AT

On the opposite side of the can

Bunches of hig grade ore exist on
the surface for radius of many feet
in each direction from the Union Blue
workings. These punches are not in
place.
Upon the roadway grade approx
mately 100 feet from the shaft and on
the same side of the canyon feet in
depth, several stratas of the vein are
exposed and as sampled gave 20 per
cent copper and 40 per cent copper.
These stratas are in place and are on
or near the foot-wall of the vein. The
ore as sampled above did not include
any of the high grade sulphide which
is directly associated in this mineral
lied qualification.
The Union Blue stratiication has
been opened up by cross-cuts and sur
face cuts for distance OF over l,50Q
feet
The course of the Union Blue vein
is northwesterly and southeasterly,
and on its downward course the pitch
is into the mountain and about IS de
grees. This is the vein upon which
a greater part OF the work has been
done and the vein is within the lines
of the property for the entire length
of the property.
The ore OF the Union Blue vein is
for the most part a copper sulphidc
ore carrying values in gold
Other values than the above men
toned are clearly shown within the
limits OF this property.
Some ore has been sacked for ship
ment from the Union Blue claims.
A number of tons of high grade
copper ore were shipped from the
surface in the earlier work on the
property and from a point of about
$50 feet distant from the Union Blue
shaft and higher up on the slope ri
