About 11 kilometres north-northeast of Greenwood, British Columbia, north of the north-east end of Jewel (Long) Lake; Greenwood Mining Division.
This prospect is officially known as the “Lake View”, but many earlier and some recent writers refer to it as “Lakeview”, which is incorrect. Note that Jewel Lake was originally known as Long Lake, and the occurrence is in what was known in the early years as the “Long Lake Camp”.
The following quote is from B.C. Government site “Minfile”- Minfile No. 082ESE 056:
“The Lake View claim (Lot 1576) is located 609 metres north- northeast from the Roderick Dhu claim (Lot 598, 082ESE125). The area is underlain by north-northeast striking and east dipping metasedimentary rocks of the Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian-Mississippian) or older Anarchist Group. The rocks are schistose quartz wackes or lithic wackes and are intruded by Lower Tertiary pulaskite dikes. A quartz fissure-vein occurs in a shear/fracture zone that roughly parallels the bedding/foliation planes of the host metasedimentary rocks. The vein strikes 340 degrees with near vertical dips to the east and is finely fractured with hematite/limonite staining. Mineralization consists of galena, pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and telluride with prominent malachite staining and minor azurite. Vein widths range from a few centimetres to 1.5 metres. An adit follows the vein for 30 metres where it discontinuously pinches and swells.”
Comments by Giles Peatfield regarding minerals reported:
Altaite: This mineral has been confirmed by X-ray analysis (Thompson, 1949).
Chalcocite: This was reported by Hoffmann (1897), based on information from Messrs. H. A. and G. A. Guess, local licensed assayers. This has not been reported elsewhere, and I regard it as tentative.
Copper (native): This was reported by Hoffmann (1897), based on information from Messrs. H. A. and G. A. Guess. It has not been reported by others reporting on the prospect.
Hessite: This mineral has been confirmed by X-ray analysis (Thompson, 1949).
Tellurium: This was reported by Hoffmann, based on results of a detailed chemical analysis of “telluride” material by Mr. R. A. A. Johnston. They concluded that “This would correspond to 87.46 per cent of altaite, 3.62 per cent of hessite, and an excess of 8.24 percent of tellurium, which may be present in the native state.” No other investigators have reported native tellurium, and pending further studies I would regard it as tentative at best.
One last comment. For many of the occurrences in this area, most workers simply report “telluride”, “rich tellurides”, etc. Specific mineral species data are few and far between.
