Report: Quote from Johns, W.M., 1970, MBMG Bulletin 79, p. 125 ....... "The Sims prospect is near the divide between Sims Creek and Waloven Creek 2 1/2 miles east of the Silver Butte Pass. Development includes a 100-foot adit and a caved adit (?) and trench. Country rock in the adit is grayish-green siliceous argillite of the Wallace Formation, which strikes northeast and dips southeast." To see the remainer of the quote please see the reference.
