| Deposit | A SINGLE ALMOST VERTICAL VEIN, 1-2 FEET THICK, FOLLOWS A NARROW DECOMPOSED DIORITE DIKE. PART OF THE SAME VEIN SYSTEM AS THE BIT TWENTY MINE. THE MINERALIZATION IS MAINLY ON SOUTH SIDE OF DIKE, AND MUCH OF THE VEIN FILLING IS A SOFT, LIGHT PUMICE-LIKE QUARTZ CONTAINING A LITTLE NATIVE SULFUR. THIS MATERIAL PROBABLY RESULTED FROM THE OXIDATION OF A PYRITIC VEIN. |
