Location and accuracy The prospect is located on the north side of an unnamed creek that drains Lake Hayden into Wilson Bay. It is in the N1/2 section 4, T. 2 S., R. 9 E., of the Seward Meridian and is at 180 feet elevation. This is location S-16 of Jansons and others (1984). This location is accurate to within 300 feet.

Geologic setting

Geologic description

This prospect may be a dewatering adit driven in an attempt to dewater the Bazard adit (SR303). No assay results were reportred, and no sulfide minerals were identified in the dump. The adit is 126 feet long and strikes S 65 E; it follows a 3-inch-wide shear zone. Nelson and others (1985) mapped rock in this area as Orca Group of early Tertiary age.
