A 165 FT. ADIT INTERSECTS A 46 DEGREE INCLINED STOPE BEGUN FROM A GLORY HOLE 78 FT. ABOVE THE ADIT PORTAL. OTHER WORKINGS INCLUDE A CAVED-IN ADIT, 900 FT. LONG, DRIVEN FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO INTERSECT THE MINERALIZED ZONE, A 65 FT. CAVED-IN SHAFT ON A WEAKLY COPPER-MINERALIZED ZONE WITH AN INTERSECTING, 170 FT. ADIT, AND ASSOCIATED SHAFT ADITS AND PITS
MOST OF THE ORE WAS PRODUCED FROM THE GLORY HOLE THAT BECAME THE 100 FT., 46 DEGREE DECLINE. THE 900 FT. DRIFT DID NOT EXPOSE ANY ORE, BUT DID INTERSECT SOME FISSURES CARRYING IRON OXIDES. ; INFO.SRC : 3 FIELD OBSERV; 2 UNPUB REPT; 1 PUB LIT
