Annual report . rter of a mile south of the north boundary of Baden. A shaft was begun onvein Xo. 1 which strikes north 61° east, and at the time of visit (September, 1919)was down 12 feet. The work showed 37 inches of quartz, interbanded with granite,with some pyrite, on the north wall. No visible gold was observed at the time,but Jas. Nelson states that a few feet deeper some coarse gold was obtained in quiterich specimens. The veins or lodes consist of narrow bands of quartz up to 15inches in width, over an average width of about tv/o and a half feet, with the quartzveins more or less continuous and branching roughly parallel to the strike of thelodes. The principal veins, No. 1 and No. 2, have been traced several hundredfeet by means of trenches. Toward the east the series of veins is cut by a nortliand south dike of diabase, sixty feet in width. The granite is partly altered alongthe veins to a greenish colour, while the unaltered granite is grey or pink. The — V) I ?£§. ert s on =,.

About one-lialf a mile to the south-west anothervein with similar characteristics is exposed, and has been traced down the blulTalmost to the lake, where a tunnel into the hill has been begun. On the south claim of the group, known as the Forest, there is a similarnarrow quartz vein in the granite, which occurs in the bed of a creek between highsand ridges, and is traceable for several hundred feet. It contains a small amountof iron pyrites, and at one place a mass of well crystallized garnet, of the variety andradite, showing isometric combinations, was observed. Some values in goldhave been obtained in all these veins, and it is the intention of the owners to givethem a careful exploration. The veins occ
