Deposit: Shear zones cutting meta-limestone lense forms prominent outcrop. Limestone lenses have locally been converted to garnet-epidote tactite. A gossan formed on the zone contains Fe oxides, chrysocolla chalcocite,melaconite. This shear zone cross cuts garnet-epidote tactite. N W of the dipper 2 shaft, a shallow shaft was sunk on a flat-dipping quartz vein which has been cut by a near-vertical shear zone. Granite is cut by aplite dikes, thin pegmatites and dull-white quartz veins. Some pegmatites contain considerable k-feldspar, and one area has large pseudomorphs of limonite after pyrite (up to 1 inch across.)
Development: M.s. 2595, patented in 1906 by herman reischke. Unpatented claims surround patents to north and south.
Rock formation(s): Harkless
Ore(s): Shear Zone
