After further exploring this property in 1939, it was also stated that a good gold showing was found within an outcropping.
The main deposit within this area was reported to have been exposed for a distance of 60 feet within a small outcorp. This outcrop was also interbedded with rhyolite, vocanic breccia, and tuff. Other reports from a geologist by the name of Graham had stated that the width of the mineralization is approximately 20 feet. All the rock which was formed in center of the deposit had also been brecciated minutely, that might of been cause due to the possible intrusion of the nearby porphyry dyke. For the most part these are associated by quartz, carbonates, and pyrites which fill the openings, and also partially replace the crushed rock. Several channel samples which were taken across this deposit had also indicated $3.00 per a ton at a price of 21.51 per ounce in 1931.
