A former Ag-Au mine.
Deposit: The justice claim had a shaft 1200 feet deep by 1879. Ore production from the 100-ft to the 1000-ft levels was 183,000 tons with a value of $3,500,000 dollars. About one-tenth as much was produced in the next 30 years, and an additional few thousands by leasers in 1922-1924. Total production 1873-1879 was 206,177 tons of ore averaging $19.07 per ton. 1922-1924; 3810 tons, averaging about $12 perton ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock
Development: 1922-1924 work was by lessees
