The molybdeni to der:osi ts have been rospected by several shcll10\\l pi ts cmd trenches and by oneshdft 30 feet deep, but as ;yet there has been no production from them. Iren 8,'.:1]]1pl 08 collected from the lilol ybdeni tbearing qu-u-tz veins contajn 0.20 to 1.15 percent of molybdenite. Because of insufficient dnta no estimates of tonncl,:r;e b?.ve been mdde, but from the number of samples carrying more th..m 0, 5 percent of mol ybdenite and from the '\Iride distribution of mol;vbdeni te-bearing veins and floa.t i t s judged that additional prospecting is... 1BIranted.
