Comments on the workings information

  • QUARTZ VEINLETS AND STRINGERS CONTAINING PYRITE, ENARGITE, GALENA, SPHALERITE, OCCUR IN HYDROTHERMALLY ALTERED AND BLEACHED METAVOLCANIC ROCKS. DISSEMINATED PYRITE OCCURS IN THE METAVOLCANICS (BONHAM, P 80) PATENTED CLAIMS IN SEC 31 SHOW THIS AREA TO HAVE BEEN OWNED BY THE NEVADA CENTRAL GOLD MINING CO (MS 3624) CLAIMS IN THE PATENT BLOCK ARE THE BELLMONT, BELLMONT 1, BELLMONT FRACTION, STANDARD, STANDARD 1, GOLD BLOSSOM, GOLD BLOSSOM FRACTION, LUCKY BOY, GOLD BAR. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS IS THE NEVADA CENTRAL MAP AND THE LOCATION. SHOWN IN SEC 36, T20N, R18E FOR THE NEVADA CENTRAL IS WRONG. GEOLOGIC DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH AREA ARE THOUGHT TO BE CORRECT-ONLY THE NAMES MAY BE SWITCHED.
