Gold, lead, silver, zinc, copper
Structure: In The Vicinity Of The Carlisle Shaft, The Carlisle Fault Strikes N45w. Southeast Of The Shaft The Fault Turns Due East And Northwest Of The Shaft It Turns Due West. Ore Shoots Are Localized By Changes In Strike And Dip Of The Veins, And Possibly By Changes In The Wall Rock.

Alteration: Silicification, Sericitization, Chloritization, Epidotization

Deposit: Deposits occur As pods, bunches and irregular masses in breccia along a northwest striking fault. Ore shoots on the 160 ft. Level were 7 to 8 ft. Thick and 50 to 200 ft. Wide and up to 400 ft. Long. Four patented claims mineral survey numbers 279,280,283 and 284 covering 63.03 acres. Lindgren,et al, 1910, p. 327, reported production value of gold and silver ore from the early 1880's to 1897 amounted to 3000000 dollars. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
