A note from Lloyd Thwaites,"There is little in the references as there is no property name given. The
analytical reference is Hoffman in 1897 and the latest reference I could
find is Summary report 115 which I have not yet located in my basement. ( if
I have it at all). RM Thompson gives an analysis for the tetradamite from
this locale in "Tellurides of British Columbia" and interestingly the assay
includes a 3.5% Pb content."
