| Deposit | SECRIST (1924) NOTES THAT ALTHOUGH JOINTING IS PROMINENT THROUGHOUT THE CUT, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO MINERALIZATION. ORE NEITHER EXTENDS CONTINUOUSLY LATERALLY NOR VERTICALLY WITH DEPTH. SPHALERITE OCCURS AS IRREGULAR, DETACHED MASSES AS REPLACEMENTS OF HOST ROCK. FINE-GRAINED PYRITE IS DISSEMINATED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ROCK AND TO A LESSER EXTENT IN THE SPHALERITE. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT |
