Hendricks claim


A former medium-output surface and underground Pb-Au-Mn-Cu-Ag mine located in the SE ¼ sec. 8, T23S, R24E, on the S edge of Bisbee, on private land. Owned by the Copper Queen Division of the Phelps Dodge Corp.

Mineralization is an eastward continuation of the deposits on the Twilight claim. The ore zone is 1.22 meters thick. Irregular replacement bodies of lead carbonate, some copper carbonates and masses of hard manganese oxides in Devonian Martin Limestone around an auriferous silica breccia core formed by leaching. In part an eastern continuation of the Twilight claim deposit and in part lies a little South of that zone of deposits. An associated rock unit is the Sacramento Hill Stock.

Local structures include common pre-mineralization faulting and tilting. Main fault directions are N10W to N40E and S30W to N50W, pre-mineralization.

Workings include several small surface and underground openings. Considerable lead and some copper ore was mined in early years and about 350 tons of manganese ore were produced in WWI (to Mar 1, 1918). Production statistics were included under the Copper Queen Mine in USBM-ABGMT files.
