Easy Money Mine; Eldorado Mine
A copper-zinc mine north of Aladdin. The geology is metamorphosed limestone in the Middle Dolomite Unit of the Metaline Formation and adjacent to the Cretaceous Spirit Pluton. The ore occurred in a quartz-calcite vein, and separately in banded limestone and dolomite. It was developed by adits, cuts, and other workings containing around 1800' of development. It produced some ore in 1927. Mills (1977) reported around 5,300 lbs Pb 16 oz Ag from this mine
