Mar 30, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - In the dyke on this claim (felsite dyke, 20 feet plus in width), there appears to be more quartz than in others (McNeil Syndicate) in the vicinity; certainly, the quartz veins are more irregular in strike and dip. Native gold usually fine, but sometimes coarse, has been found in this dyke in several places. REF: ODM 1935, Vol. 44, Part 2, Page 49; also in KL 2149.
