Structure: Faultsshear Zone, Fracture System.

Alteration: Jasperoidization

Deposit: At surface, small bodies of sandy, iron-stained lead carbonate have been mined, but ore on dump from winze is hard grey lead carbonate, with gossan at surface. Limestone is laced with thin calcite veinlets. A replacement lens strikes n70e, dips 25se. The red hills mine is the largest working on the west side of the basin. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: Worked in 1912 but idle in 1913. Lincoln says worked from 1911-1918. There were 2 rotary drill sites (shallow) in the drainage in 1980.

Geology: Ore in 20 foot zone of brecciated limestone, mineralized near the W wall, along faults that dip W and are parallel to or steeper than the bedding

Ore(s): 20-Ft Zone Of Brecciated Limestone Striking N10e, Dipping 55-70w; Fault Zone At N. Workings.
