Jul 26, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - "A mineralized quartz vein on mining claim No. 211T, Ware township, has been prospected by J. Matsen. The vein averages less than 2 feet in width and has been opened in only one trench for a length of 15 feet. It strikes North 10 degrees East and dips 80 degrees West. The vein lies in andesite and contains galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Some pyrite occurs in the wall rock. Assays are reported to show values up to 0.12 ounces in gold and 5.5 ounces in silver per ton. Other mineralized veins occur on the property, but no encouraging values have been obtained from them." (Macdonald, 1940). The OGS field crew of 1994 was unable to location the showing. Grab samples taken in the general area of a narrow quartz vein cutting moderately sheared mafic flows and tuffs returned values of up to 17 ppb Au (Brown, 1994).
