Time did not permit sampling the vein, for the presence of specimen gold necessitated doing the work very thoroughly for results of any value. A number of veins have been stripped on adjacent claims which were not visited. These are said to strike about north and south. On the same property, about onehalf mile south of the mine, there are quartz and calcite veins cutting a schistose diorite.

Near its southern end Fig. 2.--Sketch map of Tongass Narrows and George Inlet, showing claim locations. Pennock Island divides the Narrows into two channels. The mountains on either side rise either directly from the shore line or from a narrow, rocky beach. They are parallel to the channel, and reach altitudes of 2,000 and 3,000 feet. From a geologic standpoint this region can be considered a southern extension of the area lying adjacent to Helm Bay. Greenstone-schists outcrop on both sides of Tongass Narrows. Under the microscope this rock is seen to be an altered diabase. On either side of the greenstone-schist belt are argillites belonging to the Ketchikan series. Numerous dioritic dikes cut across the foliation of the schists, which strike northwest and southeast, parallel to the course of the waterway. The dips are usually steep and to the east. Many claims have been staked adjacent to tide water in this belt, but little attempt has ...
