There was considerable work done on the Bidgood claims tothe northeast of Mud lake and the Montgomery claims to the southwest of this lake. 1920 Kirkiand Lake Gold Area 47 Bidgood The Bidgood Gold Mines Limited, is prospecting a group of claims lyingbetween Mud and McTavish lakes. A geological plan, showing the location ofveins has been prepared by C. E. Eodgers and accompanies this report. About3,000 feet of surface trenching was done by the end of 1919 and a number of veins in ^ ^A Ci * { ^ ^1^ ^ N HID ?^+ m cF 1 + + W % 1/5 ooo u. uncovered. They occur in the porphyry or conglomerate near the porphyry. Theearly work was done on the northeast claims and several narrow quartz veins, from4 in. to 1^ in. wide, were prospected. Their average strike is and andthe dip is steeply to the The quartz in places carries abundant iron and 48 Department of Mines No. 4 copper pyrites, with some pyrrhotite and also filmy seams of molybdenite. Novisible gold was recognized in specimens from these veins, but some low valueswere obtained by assay of selected samples. Values from 80 cents to $ insamples taken from ISTos, 1 and 2 veins are reported by the company. Work isnow being concentrated on veins Nos. 9 and 4 immediately northeast of Mud veins were not seen by the writers, but Mr. Eodgers states that vein No. 9is 8 feet wide and traceable for 350 feet, while No. 4 vein, 75 feet to the south, is25 feet wide and traceable for 250 feet. The strike of these veins is N. 55° the di
