Annual report . ormations overlie the diabase sill that outcrops nearly one-half milewest and dips gently under the Keewatin and conglomerate. Two hundred feetwest of No. 1 post there is a strong smaltite-niccolite vein on the property, strik-ing approximately north and south. It crosses the north line of the claim toclnim 350, being traceable on both properties for about 700 feet. A shallowshaft has been sunk on 350, 15 feet north of the line. Here the vein is abouta foot wide, decreasing in width in both directions. Toward the south the veinsplits into several stringers, which have been exposed at several points by shallow 1920 Gowganda Silver Area 87 pits. The ore is massive smaltite and iiiccolite, and so far no silver ore has boonexposed along the outcrop of the vein. The depth of the diabase sill below the sur-face where the vein outcrops is not known, but this will probably be determined hydiamond-drilling to prospect the diabase immediately below the upper contact wiilithe View on Symnies-Young claim, 351, containingmassive smaltite and niccolite (7 inches in widthat hammer). The rock is quartzite-conglomerate,Cobalt series. ] Collins Claim, 220 (2947) Tliis claim, on the west side of Leroy lake, shows surface exposures of Keewatintuffs and greenstone, intruded by dikes of diabase. The Keewatin rocks, wherebanded, strike north 60° east. A vertical shaft has been sunk 200 feet on the eastcontact of a diabase dike witli the banded tuff, where there is a vein of calcite withquartz, copper pyrites, iron pyrites and some smaltite and niccolite. A station hasbeen cut at the 180-foot level, from which cross-cuts will be run to veins that out-cro]) at the shaft and to the west of the shaft. The vein is somewhat lens-like andis four inches in width 100 feet south of the shaft, running in places along thecontact with the diabase dike. Tt was found to dip from the shaft at 50 feet, andbelow 80 feet the shaft is entirely in the diabase di
