| Deposit | THE STANDING ELLS AND HOFFMAN CLAIM (ALLADIN, NEVADA BUNKER HILL) MINE WAS AN 1870'S DISCOVERY, WITH ITS ORES GEING TREATED IN A SMALL SMEELTER ERECTED AT RULLING CITY. PRODUCTION CONTINUED UNTIL 1887, THEN CEASED UNTIL 1905 WHEN THE NEVADA BUNKER HILL MINING CO. CONSOLIDATED THIS, AND SEVERAL OTHER PROPERTIES (RED BIRD, TRIPOLI), AND 2 LOW LEVEL ADITS WERE BEGUN AT THE NEW CAMP OF BULLION, TO EXPLORE THE DOWNWARD EXTENSION OF THE ORE BODIES. THE DAVIS-TUNNEL WAS TO EXPLORE THE STANDING ELLS ORE BODY-EXTENDED 6,040'-THIS TARGET WAS REACHED IN 1959, BUT NO ORE WAS FOUND. THE AFTER ADIT-THE WEBFOOT-SHARED THE SAME DUMP AND PORTAL AREA EXTENDED 900', WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET OF CROSSCUTS BELOW THE WEBFOOT WORLSENG'S. THE STANDING ELLS HAS OVER 10,000 OF WORLSINGS, AND IS ONE OF THE MAJOR PRODUCERS OF THE DISTRICT, WITH MOST OF THE INTERMITTENT PRODUCTION SINCE 1908 TO ITS CREDIT. THE ORE OCCURS AS PIPE-ULSE REPLACEMENTS IN MARBELIZED LIMESTONES ALONG PORPHYRY DIKESS AT THEIR |

DIAMETER AND EXTENDED VERTICALLY FOR C. 400'-YIELDED 50,000 TONS OF OXIDIZED ORE=18.2% LEAD, 5.4% COPPER, AND 19 OZ OF SILVER PER TON. THE MINE ORIGINALLY OPENED ON 7 LEVELS WITH THE 'LOW LEVEL' ADIT (DAVIS TUNNEL) THE MAIN ACCESS. THE PROPERTY WAS OPERATED DURING THE 1930'S AS THE ALADDIN MINES CO., BUT WAS LATER OPERATED BY THE NEVADA BUNKER HILL MINING CO., AND THE LEAD AND COPPER MINES., INC. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
