Alteration: Strongly Oxidized
Deposit: Workings are along a quartz vein within a fault hosted in andesite/dacite. Iron-stained quartz had no visible mineralization and assayed only minor base metal values
Development: Patented in 1909 at which time the claims were owned by nevada hills extension mining co. No activity in 1986.
Ore(s): Fault, N 28 E, 67 Nw
Alteration: Oxidation, Silicification
Deposit: The ore is in bands and blotches, mainly silver sulfides. The ore ran about 100 oz. Silver to 1 oz. Gold. The deposits show three or more periods of mineralization. The veins are replacement veins and consist mainly of quartz and altered rock. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock
