GEOLOGY OF MOOSE RIVER GOLD DISTRICT- -WOODMAN. 85 



been poorly made, I have not data for all. The Flat lead, area 

 124, is three inches thick. The more northerly of the two in 

 the center of area 77, east of the fault, is two inches thick. The 

 Big South (wrongly called Comstock by some) is a foot thick. 

 Two leads, six and one inch respectively, lie a few feet south of 

 its east end. The Miller lead is three inches across. The Cowan 

 is an erratic vein, probably not strictly in the stratification of 

 the sediments. It varies much in thickness, running up to two 

 feet in swells. A six-inch vein lies so close as to be included 

 practically in the same belt. The former has a south dip, but 

 in places appears to dip north, owing to its large corrugations. 

 It and its belt contain much striated arsenopyrite like that in 

 the Britannia belt, and miners have considered them equivalent ; 

 but there is no possibility that they are.
