Comments on the geologic information

  • UPPER WORKINGS EXPOSE IRREGULAR TO REGULAR PODS OF QTZ. & CALCITE IN A GREY WEATHERED LS. THESE PODS OCCUR ALONG AND 11 TO THE LIMESTONE BEDDING, WHICH IS ORIENTED N25W &25E. THE HOST LS IS LACED WITH CALCITE VEINLETS WHICH 11 TO X-CUT THE BEDDING. SOME PODS OF QTZ. FOUND ON THE GLORY HOLE DUMP CONTAIN WHITE & YELLOW-GREEN, RADIATING STIBNITE ? OXIDES & GHOST OF STIBNITE. SMALL SHEAR ZONES X-CUT THE PODS & WALL RK. THE LS. IS SILICIFIED LOCALLY ALONG THESE SHEARS! THE SHEARS LOOK AS THEY ARE SMALL BEDDING PLANE FAULTS
