Deposit REPLACEMENT OF FAVORABLE LIMESTONE, CONTROLLED BY FAULTS. ALSO, A 2-FT. THICK TIN-VEIN CUP TO 2% SN)
Deposit THE CLEVELAND MINE HAS ABOUT 6700 FT OF WORKINGS EXCLUSIVE OF SLOPES-TO A DEPTH OF 450 FT DOWN DIP OF THE BEDDING, AND LATERALLY ABOUT 670 FT. MOST OF THE ORE WAS EXTRACTED FROM ABOVE THE 300 FT LEVEL. THE SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY WAS EXPLORED BY NUMEROUS PITS AND ADITS. THE MINE PRODUCED ORE INTERMITTENTLY FROM 1908 TO 1949 WHEN THE MINE SHUTDOWN. THE MOST RECENT ACTIVITY HAS BEEN THE SINKING OF THE BRACKEN SHAFT 400 FT NNW OF THE CLEVELAND SHAFT, AND DRIVING OF 2 ADITS ABOVE THE BRACKEN SHAFT FOR EXPLORATION.
