  • 4 OPEN CUTS, WITH HIGH SILICEOUS ROCKS CONTAINING SMITHSONITE IN VERY SMALL CAVITIES THROUGH THE ROCK. NE OF THE OPEN CUTS AND NEAR BITE OF A RANCH HOUSE IS A SHAFT OF 65 FEET, APPARENTLY ALL IN EARTH. AN OPEN CUT BENEATH THE SHAFT OPENING YIELDED COATINGS OF IRON OXIDE AND SMITHSONITE OVER THE HOST ROCK AND OVER SPHALERITE CRYSTALS, AND SPONGY BROWNISH AND GRAY CARBONATE MASSES.

Comments on development

  • "THERE ARE FOUR OPEN CUTS ON THIS PROPERTY FROM WHICH SMITHSONITE AND SPHALERITE HAVE BEEN TAKEN." THIS CONSTITUTES BASIS FOR CALLING THIS SITE A PRODUCER.
