Work History
Staked as Eliza Jane, etc cl (14741) in Jul/22 by J. McDonald, D. McLean and W.H. Forbes. Restaked in Aug/26 by H. Sutherland as Wick cl (16212), and in Jun/47 as Ladue cl (56439) by E.W. Runer and C. Brefalt, and sold to Fred Taylor, who shipped about 4.5 tonnes of ore to the United Keno Hill mill in 1949 and explored with trenching until 1956. Adjoining claims in this period include Willie Winkile, etc cl (59134), in Oct/48 by T.J. O'Neill, which were sold to Mayo ML (a Noranda subsidiary) in Aug/49 and transferred in Nov/53 to Maybrun ML; Barnaby Rudge and Alba Madonna cl (59126) in Nov/48 by J. Cox, which were sold in Jan/49 to Yukeno Lead and Silver ML and transferred in Jan/50 to Cons. Yukeno ML and in Feb/51 to Yukeno ML; and PJ cl (61256) in Dec/50 by Yukon E & Dev CL.
Restaked as Tyro cl (80435) in Apr/60 by Conwest; as Rico cl (81212) in Jun/62 by Rio Plata Silver ML; as Pax cl (83528) in Jul/64 by F. Taylor, which were fringed by the R cl (84344) of United Keno Hill in Mar/65. The Pax group was explored by hand trenching in 1964-67 and optioned in 1968 to Silver Christal ML, which conducted more trenching that year. United Keno Hill carried out soil sampling and prospecting in 1965. A 12.2 m adit was driven on the vein, probably in 1947-48 by Brefalt.
Restaked as the Max cl (88726) in Jun/74 by R. Grant, etc and as Silver cl (YA1348) in Oct/75 by J. Strebchuk. The Cobalt Hill No. 1 cl (YA7232) was tied on in Oct/76 by W. Malicky. All of the claims were transferred to Julian Mg Corp in Oct/85.
Capsule Geology
A poorly developed, branching vein striking 330° cuts phyllitic quartzite and greenstone. The vein has been traced along strike about 122 m and contains the occasional erratic 5 to 8 cm wide veinlet of galena. The 4.5 tonnes of hi-graded ore assayed about 2228.5 g/t Ag and 80% Pb.
The R group was staked to cover heavy metal stream anomalies located by GSC Operation Keno (1964) but no new veins were located. Two selected specimens assayed by the GSC returned an average of 1306.3 g/t Ag, 72.5% Pb, 0.1% Zn, 0.04% Cu and 0.41% Sb.
