rocks of the region. These quartz veins are abundant along the contacts 
of the granite and the Wekuspo series. Some of the quartz contains 
gold in visible quantities. The veins are variable in width averaging 
from 18 inches to 12 feet and some of them have been traced for 1,600 
feet or more. One carload of ore shipped from the Northern Manitoba 
group averaged $81.53 per ton in gold. Considerable development 
work on a number of the properties has already been done, and after 
transportation facilities are improved and mining conditions become 
normal, this should prove an important gold-producing region.
