Sec 15 T1N R66E
Structure: Highland Thrust Plate Vein Is Cut Off On The East By Crossfault

Deposit: Discovery Year: 1870'S

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: 1910 press clipping states that a 4-ft vein of pb-ag ore was being developed on the 800 ft level, followed for 30 ft. Shipments of 150 tons/wk were being shipped to utah at that time. In 1912 shipments were being made from the dump at the rate of 40 tpd. Mine was leased to roy bicknell in 1921 who shipped silver ore. In 1920 40 tons/wk were being shipped. No activity at time of examination in 1983.

Geology: Ore body is a replacement fissure vein, with bedded ore on the lower levels. The vein filling consists of jasperoid and red jasper carrying pb carbonate. In places the vein is very thin and insignificant. The bedded ore is limited on the N by the mendha vein, on the SE by broken and faulted ground, and on the W by a fault
