able prospecting has been done nii
along ihis quarts ledge on ihe surface
ana many tests have beee made on tia
ore extracted. and thus lar the gold
values predominant. although very
high assays have been received from
This quarts ledge IN silver salnes.
There arc many oifshoots leading
away from this ledge which carry
very high silver values. There has
been no deep development done on
this ledge Ia any paft Of the district.
Tho development thus FAR has been
mainly prospecting on the surface.
Tho deepest Development on thla
ledse waa down on the old brilliant
mine many years ago. A shaft was
sunk 10 a depth OF 1850 feef. before
the foot wall wns encountered, which
was limestone, ana "a this point. the
quartz ledge VAS encountered dipping
20 the east. This vein of quartz when
first encountered IN the shaf wos
seven feet IN width and when develop
ment ceased on thin mine the quartz
vein was the same width. What this
vein produced on this mine az that
time II hard 10 tell. but looking over
the dump one sees indications Of very
rich quartz. There ~ no section In
