Report: Or North Princess. Adit open and dry. The dump smells of sulfides. The dump does not reach the creek, but it is within 20 ft of it. There does not appear to be any runoff problems with the dump. The dump measures roughly 60 feet by 70 feet by 15 feet high. The adit strikes N12 degrees E. The country rock is granite. The ore material is a quartz vein with multiple episodes of brecciation and mineralization. The vein is milky white, very fine grained quartz with bands of clear to semi-transparent, gray to black quartz. The are some vug cavities in the vein. Mines is labeled on the site as "Banker II Lode Claim". Samples BDLNP-1, a dump composite, and BDLNP-2, an ore identification sample that was not ticketed, were taken. BDLNP-1 ran <0.006 oz/ton gold, 0.68 oz/ton silver, 0.010% copper, 0.01% lead, and 0.029% zinc, and 0.07% arsenic.
