Mining LocationsThe Seville Exploration Syndicate The holdings of this company comprise a group of eleven claims, which are situatedsouth and west of Fournier lake. Silver was first found in the area on this propertyin May, 1909. Considerable surface work has been done on the claims. Many well-. Fig. 91.—Folded sedimentary rocks, east side of Herron lake.

Much bloom, with smaltite,copper pyrites, and a small amount of bismuth was observed in several of the silver was found in place, but small specKs were found in pieces of vein matterthat had been taken out of one of the veins. The trenches are filling up again to acertain extent, so that small isolated showings of silver could easily escape the veins that were visited are in the diabase. Xo work was in progress on thisproperty dining the season. Turnbulls Claims These claims are situated immediately west of those of the Seville ExplorationSyndicate. The country rock is diabase. On one of the claims a large calcite veinhas been uncovered for about three chains. This vein is 3 or 4 feet wide in west of the large vein another one occurs that will average probably 8 or 10inches in width for a distance o
