slickensides occur in the Algoman gabbro. Although these faults 

 upstep the ore each time to the southeast, the ore apparently is 

 dipping with more or less regularity and continues from lots 228 and 

 230 to lot 231. 



Secondary to the interest taken in the possibilities on lots 228, 

 230 and 231, the Wheeler lot has received considerable attention, 

 The Summer pit bed continues onto the Wheeler lot, as is shown by 

 the drill records of holes 1 and 2, where 15^ and 5 feet of ore is 

 found respectively. Hole 3 went down 232 feet without finding any 

 graphite. It may be that hole 3 was beyond the eastern limit of the 

 ore as the Summer pit bed thins or pinches out to the north, as 

 previously suggested, or that the schist takes a pronounced roll and 

 was not reached by the drillers. Holes 4 and 5 failed to strike any 

 ore. Six feet north of hole 4 is a ledge of the Swede Pond quartzite,
