Deposit: Vein-replacement along fault fissures the parker or humbug mine is a property in the NE part of the district, below the spence mine, in a low foothill at an elevation of 6950. First shipments were made in 1929 and 1930 of lead-silver ore. The mine is opened by shafts to a depth (1931) of 80 ft. In 1942 the shaft was 100 ft (incline) with drifts and crosscuts.
