A Pb-Ag-F-Ba-V-Mo-Zn-Au-Cu (As-Se-Be-Sb) mine

Mineralization is spotty, rich masses of partly oxidized, argentiferous galena in a gangue of crystalline and banded calcite, fluorite and minor barite, in a lensing fissure vein (Cleveland-Chicago vein) up to 3 feet wide and at least 1,400 feet long. Wall rocks are well-bedded, steeply-dipping Mesozoic shale and impure limestone, cut by diorite porphyry and quartz porphyry dikes. Most of the outcrop is concealed by gravel. Ore exists down to about the 300-350 foot level. The barite is later than the fluorite.
