General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit WORKINGS ARE ALONG CONTACT OF OLDER SEDIMENTS AND GRANITE. THERE APPEARS TO BE ORE PILED NEXT TO THE SHAFT. MATERIAL CONSISTS OF CALCITE RICH, MN-STAINED ORE WITH SOOTY PYROLUSITE, WAD. MOST OF THE MINERALS ARE HIGHLY OXIDIZED WITH COPPER, HEMIMORPHITE?, TETRAMEDRITE AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE YELLOW-GREEN LEAD OXIDES.
