Deposit SEVERAL QUARTZ VEINS. CLOSELY SPACED QUARTZ VEINLETS WERE RICH ENOUGH TO MINE OVER WIDTHS OF 8-12 FT. SOME SILICIFIED SCHIST BETWEEN VEINS MAY CONSTITUTE LOW GRADE ORE. STIBNITE VEIN 20 IN WIDE
Deposit SECOND LARGEST LODE-GOLD PRODUCER IN DISTRICT. POST 1931 PRODUCTION AND OTHER DATA MOSTLY LACKING, BUT 1931-1940 PRODUCTION WAS SUBSTANTIAL. SOME STIBNITE PRODUCTION. MANY STIBNITE LENSES AND VEINS. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
