the region was a man who looked after the various properties and as opportunity offered did a little prospecting. Efforts were made to prospect further the Navaho claim, formerly called the Hope claim, which lies between Cannery Cove and North Arm. No productive work was done during last year on any of the properties adjacent to Niblack. Only one person now lives in this region, and although part of his time is spent in prospecting little new work has been accomplished. The strongly faulted and deformed structures in this region increased the difficulty and expense of mining. A small prospect lies in the small bight north of Black Point, at the entrance of Niblack Anchorage. The lead had been opened by means of a vertical shaft, and by a short adit. The country rock is an agglomeratic or pyroclastic igneous rock trending east and dipping south. Not far away, an infaulted mass of black shales and slates are exposed.
