Deposit VEINS INDIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTRUSIVE CONTACT
Deposit DEPOSITS ARE TRANSVERSE, USUALLY DIKE OR VEIN LIKE IN CHARACTER, AND INDIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTACT ZONE. THE "JUNCTION VEIN" TRENDS SW-NE FOR 2 MILES. IT IS 2-4 FEET WIDE, DIPS ABOUT 65 SE, AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH SILICEOUS SYENITE DIKES. ORE IS CONSIDERED GOOD AND AVERAGES 25% CU (SCHRADER, 1912, P 126). CLAIM IS LOCATED ON SCHRADER'S (1912, 1935) CLAIM MAPS. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
