KΓΆppen climate type:
The deposits lying within the drainage area of Big Music and Sister Creek and a few prospect along the White River east of Pine Mountain occur in Everton dolomite, in the Black Ledge of the Powell dolomite and in the Cotter dolomite. The ores are chiefly zinc carbonate, with some jack and galena. The district has produced probably not more than 250 tons of concentrate, most of which came from the deposit in the Black Ledge.
