Deposit THIS CLAIM CONTAINS TWO E-N PARALLEL LODES SEPARATED BY 150-FEET OF GRANODIORITE. THE LODES DIP STEEPLY SOUTH NEAR THE LIMESTONE-GRANODIORITE CONTACT. THE PRINCIPAL OPENING IS A 4-FOOT TUNNEL, MOSTLY IN LIMESTONE, ON THE SOUTH LODE. THE NORTH (MAIN) LODE IS ABOUT 25 FEET WIDE AND CONSISTS MOSTLY OF A SILICEOUS GANGUE (GREEN-BROWN) OF ACTINOLITE, AXINITE, GARNET, NONTRONITE, WITH GOOD CARBONATE ANDOXIDE OREES OF COPPER (SCHRADER, 1935 P.33). THE MAIN VEIN IS CONSIDERED AN EXTENSION OF THE RATTLER LODE. (SCHRADER, 1912, P125) THIS CLAIM IS ONE OF THE GREY COPPER CORPS. UPPER GROUP OF CLAIMS (SCHRADER, 1935) ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
Deposit E PARALLEL LODES SEPARATED BY 150 FEET OF GRANODIORITE-ASSOCIATED WITH IGNEOUS CONTACT.
