BEARD, THE PRESENT OWNER, ABOUT 500 TONS OF RICH SILVER ORE, WITH VALUES IN GOLD AND COPPER, WAS PRODUCED IN 1886, AND 4500 TONS OF LEAD-ZINC ORE WAS PRODUCED IN 1890-1903. DURING THE PERIOD 1909-1952 ABOUT 9000 TONS OF LEAD-ZINC ORE WAS MINED FROM THE CASH ENTRY, GRAND CENTRAL, FRANKLIN, AND OTHER NEARBY PROPERTIES." (1957, P. 59)

Deposit THE DEPOSIT IS A WELL-DEFINED SHEAR-ZONE VEIN WITH SEVERAL GOOD WALLS DISTRIBUTED WITHIN A WIDTH OF ABOUT 15 FEET. THE ORE IS OXIDIZED DOWN TO THE WATER LEVEL, SULFIDE ORE OCCURRED BELOW THE WATER LEVEL. ZINC ORES ARE SAID TO PREVAIL AT DEPTH.
Deposit THE GRAND CENTRAL MINE AND THE FRANKLIN MINE ARE INCLUDED, BY SOME AUTHORS, WITH THE CASH ENTRY MINE. FOR THE USGS MRDS PROJECT THEY ARE CONSIDERED SEPERATELY. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT
