During the time that the geological examinationwas being made the Nipissing Mining Company had a gang of eight or ten menat work in trencliing and sampling and doing some blasting. A log cabin andthree tents were on the property and the work was in charge of George Tucker. The veins on which most of the work was being done occur on a liill whichrises some 35 feet above a shallow, weedy pond about an eighth of a mile indiamctei. Tlie rocks on tlie southwest face oE this hill are impregnated withankerite, or other iron-bearing carbonate, whicli has caused them to become rusty. Tliere are four main veins on this liili, striking about north 25° west magnetic, and (lipping al)ont vertically. These veins vai-y in width from a few inches to 4 or.

The veiuuS consist mainly of quartz, and contain also iron pyrites, copper|)yi-ites, S])ccularito, galena, and at times consideiable ankerite or other similarcarbonate. Fiagnicnts of piidv syenitic-looking rock commoidy occur in the vein. The Bureau of Mines party did not sample these veins, but the results of the.-ampling oj)erations by the ISTipissing Mining Company Avere kindly made known, ft was stated that tlie highest values in gold were obtained from a small vein onthe face of the hill, known as No. 1 vein. Some shots had been put in this veinat a certain point, exposing IG inches of vein material.
