J. M. Pyyon property
Several pits were dug about 1920 on the J. M. Pyyon property, which is threeeighths of a mile west of the Marble Hill School in lot 64, district 4, section 2 (location 14, pi. 39). Later some prospecting was done by James Foster, and two small pits were dug about 1942 by Jim Dover. Mica books, fragments of quartz, and crystals of black tourmaline are scattered over an elongate area that trends N. 65° W. Apparently they were derived from a pegmatite body that may be as much as 100 ft thick. The mica is clear and flat, but many of the books are tied and cracked. Trimmed sheets as large as 2 by 3 in. could be obtained. The country rock, a mica-garnet schist with small lenses of amphibolite, strikes N. 62° E. and dips 40° SSE.
