Köppen climate type:
Alteration: Strong Silicification
Deposit: Workings explore a 10-15 ft thick rib of highly silicified partially brecciated vein that crops out and forms a big knob on the north-sloping hill south of geiger gap. The fault-vein system may be part of the structure called the kiowa vein by schrader (1947). Sample 3889 was collected from both dump and vein and consisted of vuggy, iron-stained quartz veinlets and breccia containing fine-grained gray sulfides of silver.
Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock
Development: Worked in early days of the camp (early 1900's) by the geiger brothers, with some small but unrecorded production; ground later held by frank lewis; staked in 1979 by erickson's group.
Ore(s): Fault Zone
