 group of claims.
 Sulphides
 Galena.-Galena is the pre-
 dominant ore mineral of the
 district and has been found in
 every vein. The galena is usu-
 ally of medium grain, but local
 ly it has been mashed and
 crushed by movements to
 fine-grained aggregate called
 steel galena. Such dense gal
 ena may show a flowage relat-
 ion toward other minerals. The galena generally occurs con- centrated in local shoots in the quartz Assure veins, but in the mineralized bands that consti- ute the replacement veins in the lower part of the Hazelton group it is more uniformly dis tributed. It carries moderate quantities of silver and usually $2 to $4 in gold to the ton.
 Pyrite.-Pyrita is probably the most abundant metallic mineral in the district, and it, too, has been found in every vein. Where the naturalization is sparse, pyrite may be of the only metallic mineral present. In such places it occurs usually in good crystals, commonly in the form of pyritohedrons or cubes in the quartz Assure veins and in the form of cubes in the disseminated deposits in the HaZelton group. At many places it is associated in con- siderable amounts in the gal ena in localized ore shoots in the quartz Assure veins. The of gold and silver in the pyrite is variable. Some py- ritic quartz veins in the Texas Creek granodiorite and some pyritic impregnation and re- placement deposits in the beds of the Hazelton group carry considerable gold; others do not. At some places the silver content of the pyrite is high.

Native Elements

Gold.-Practically all the mineral deposits in the district carry at least a little gold. Gold IS known to occur in part as the native metal, at some places in coarse flakes, but it's mode of occurrence at other places has not been ascertained. Native gold has been observed in abundance locally in certain quartz veins on the Riverside property. On the Sixmile group of claims it occurs in narrow quartz stringers and in the granodiorite wall rock ad- jecent to the contact of the veins. It has also been observed in quartz veins on the Mon- arch, Crest, and Cantu proper ties and in a boulder of float on the Texas Creek Comstock. All the quartz veins that carry free gold have local shoots heavily mineralized with sul- phides.
 Silver.-Native silver is very rare on the Alaska side of the International boundary, though it is very plentiful in the Pre- mier ore and is found on the Spider, Silver Tip, Porter-Ida- ho, and other properties on the Canadian side. Native silver h s been found in small amounts near a. fault plane on
