Fraction, the Portland Wonder, the Glacier Creek Min- ing Company and the Stewart Mining and Company, both within - and outside of the ore bodies, It consists of bits of argillite and porphyrite, vary ing size, completely included in the quartz and calcite, and sometimes in the ore it self. The vein, at this point, showed but little mineralization, its ores being pyrite and a little galena,” Specimens from this ore ran to 5.6 og. silver per ton and a trace of gold. My first view of this vein produced the impression on me that it Was too wide, loo scattered, for an ore body at the point where it is exposed in the tunnel It is entirely normal, except for its great width, and shows all the characteristics of this and the other veins of the series, outside the ore bodies, We know that ore does occur both north and south of the tunnel in this vein and, while it would have been most satisfac tory to have developed an ore body at ihe Development of 3.6 of point it was reached, still our future op erations would have been the same in that event as now become hecessary, In the report of April 14th, 1913, this state- ment occurs “When the vein is reahed by the tunnel, drifting north or south on it, or both, or further cross cutting to the other veins, must he decided upon and this decision will be largely influenced by disclosed conditions.” On December 1913, drifting to the north into the Boy claim was begun, starting from about 2,348 feet from the the tunnel.

This drift should be certainly continued to ore and it does not look as if it would be far to go. It will continue for about three hundred feet in the Melba claim and then, if further extended, enter the Richard I. The tunnel will be continued whenever work at that point will not interfere with the drifting in the Lucky Boy and Melba drifts It is often advantageous to have three faces in which to work two ma- chines, mucking may be going on in one ¢ the machines are drilling in the other two, and there are other considera- tions. The tunnel work will be made sec- ondary, for the time being, to the drift- ing, as it is manifest that there is more probability of opening ore by the latter means The face of the tunnel, 175 feet beyond No, 2 vein, looks promising for the cutting of another vein and, judging from the distance between them on the surface another is nearly due, Three more veins, at least, are included in the Fissure Zone and the tunnel must be ulti- mately driven across them, Added im- portance has recently been given to this plan of cross-cutting by the discovery of ore of very good grade ($40.00) on the surface of the O. K. Fraction and in a vein which seéms, from its location, not to have been found elsewhere. The Portland Canal Tunnels, Ltd., owns ten mineral claims with a total acreage of 891. These claims are well located with reference to the Fissure Zone, cover- ing the extension of the veins on their dip At the tunnel level both the No, 1 and No. 2 veins should continue in Tun- nels ground on their southerly course for 4,000 feet afler passing through a cor- ner of Richard I., a claim of the Port- land Canal Mining Company. Four of thes claims were acquired by purchase and the others were located. All are entered for Crown grant, and paid for, and late information is to the effect that there is no question as to the title. all’ of the underground work of the Company to date has been what ts known as “dead work.” In driving the tunnel there was a possifility of cutting veins unknown on the surface, but it was a very remote Blind veins are rare in such a formation and the country as a whole, and particularly this locatlity, has been well prospected, The Fissure Zone and two veins were found in practicaliy their calculated posi- tions. It would have beep most fortunate had we entered ore bodies in these veins but it is obvious to anyone at all ac- quainted with the nature of ore deposits that the chance for any unknown portion of a vein 8 feet by 10 feet in size to carry ore is extremely small. The No. 1 vein, where cut by the tunnel, is 600 feet deep on this dip below the Richard Cut, the wearest surface working. Conditions there could not reasonably be expected to continue downward for that distance. In fact, the assumption of “ore shoots” (vertical, rather than horizontal, exten sions of ore in the vein), in this particular locality, is unwarranted, Actual develop- ments show lenticular masses of ore, rather long than deep, and usually in the narrower parts of the veins, as the pre- Practically one vailing form of ocurrence, Ore of pay grade has been found within the Fissure Zove upon every mining claim from the Lucky Seven on the south to the Sunbeam on the north, This covers a distance of nearly 15,000 feet, Erosion has been ex- tensive and recent. A section between the south end of the Portland Canal Min- ing Company's property and the bed of Glacier Creek shows a difference in ele- vation of 2,500 feet. This great gash has been cut by nature’s forces down through the Fissure Zone and there 1s almost no surface oxidation where ores outcrop. Such conditions afford excellent facilities for accurate study of the forma- tion. The only conclusions I am able to reach are that any section of the veins may contain ore put that such ore is most likely to be found where the veins are not too wide With known ore to the north and south of the tunnel and the veins en countered entirely normal, as to physical condition and position, it would seem that there should be no question as to the nature of future operations, Drifting, preferably on both veins, should be ener- getically pushed until ore bodies are reached, At the same time, the tunnel should be continued across the Fissure Zone, when such work can be done with- out interfering with the drifts. We may still be fortunate enough to cut the veins ahead in ore and, in any event, they will be ready for development later. No review of our operations would be even moderately complete without a refer- ence to our superintendent, Mr. Lloyd C. White has showa himself tireless in at- tention to his duties and entirely compe- tent. It is largely due to his care and ability that the costs have been kept down to what I consider a very low figure and that not a single accident of consequence has happened to any employees since the work began, Yours truly, W.
