General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit SHAFTS ARE INCLINED TO SW ALONG QUARTZ VEIN 6-10 FT WIDE. VEIN IS FRACTURED AND CU-STAINED. QUARTZ VEIN MATERIAL ON DUMP IS WHITE IN COLOR AND MASSIVE TO SUGARY IN TEXTURE. VEIN CARRIES CLOTS AND CRYSTALS OF SULFIDES MALACHITE, CHRYSOCOLLA AND YELLOW-GREEN OXIDES COAT FRACTURE SURFACES. IRON OXIDES ARE PRESENT BUT NOT IN ABUNDANCE.
