A. E. Trafford of Sundridge Ontario had claims on Lot 10 and 11, Concession VII in Butt Township. Both occurrences are described below.
(South Half Lot 11, Con VII)
A pegmatite dike 8-10 feet wide and 70 feet long,. It strikes N15E.
The dike is composed of coarse-grained feldspar and quartz with abundant black mica. Some small brown crystals, probably allanite and some indications of radioactive minerals were seen.
(North Half Lot 10, Con VII)
This is a dyke 18 inches to 2 feet thick lying on coarse foliated hornblende gneiss on the side of a hill, dipping at about 45 degrees to the northwest under drift, and exposed by stripping for 40 to 50 feet up the hill. The pegmatite is a mixture of medium-grain pink to red feldspar and quartz with white and black mica in books up to 3 or 4 inches diameter. There is some of the granular smoky quartz, deep red spar, and small mica mixture. Some scattered grains of radioactive mineral up to 1/4 inch diameter were seen.
