New Jersey Zinc Eagle Mine; Gilman Mine; Wilkesbarre shaft; Newhouse tunnel; Little Chief Mine; Iron Mask Mine; Belden Mine; Black Iron Mine
A former Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Au-Mn mine located in secs. 12 & 13, T6S, R81W, and in secds. 7 & 18, T6S, R80W, 6th Principal Meridian, 0.2 km (500 feet) NE of Gilman, on private (patented) land within a National Forest area. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
New Jersey Zinc Co. consolidated several mines and properties, including the Little Chief, Iron Mask, Belden, and Black Iron mines, into the Eagle mine by 1918. The Newhouse tunnel, near the railroad, and the Wilkesbarre shaft provide main access to some 20 levels and 65 miles of workings that extend at least 8,500 ft. down dip from the outcrop and 9,000 ft. along strike to develop the ore bodies.
Historically, the largest Zn- and Cu-producing mine in Colorado, the Eagle mine was closed in 1981. Cumulative production from the district, most of which came from the Eagle mine or its predecessors, totals nearly 400,000 ounces of Au, 67.6 million ounces of Ag, 212 million pounds of Cu, 317 million pounds of Pb, and 1.868 billion pounds of Zn, from 13.1 million tons of ore. About 200,000 tons of manganiferous iron ore was also produced.
The deposits are principally replacement deposits (mantos) of Zn-Pb-Ag ore and chimney deposits of Cu-Ag ore in dolomites of Mississippian and Late Devonian age. The ore body strikes N45W, dips 12E at a thickness of 30 meters, a depth-to-top of 460 meters, a width of 80 meters and a length of 1,220 meters. The ore bodies are replacement bodies with irregular and pipe-like structures. The primary mode of origin was hydrothermal and primary ore control was lithology and the second mode of control was igneous. The wallrock alteration is moderate (sericitic and advanced argillic). The host rocks are little deformed or faulted and dip about 12 degrees to the NE, away from the Sawatch anticline. Local rocks include rocks of the Minturn Formation in west-central and south-central and other units.
Workings include underground openings with a total length of 105,000 meters and an overall depth of 128 meters.
Production data are found in: Mining Engineering Magazine.
Reserve-Resource data: Reserves have been depleted, and the mine has been reclaimed. Cu-Ag ore was mined out as of December, 1977.

"The Eagle Mine, though never able to dominate zinc production so completely [compared with Climax's domination of molybdenum], remained the largest zinc producer and retained its position as one of the important lead and silver mines. It suffered serious labor troubles in 1952 and again in 1960 but was hurt more by a fluctuating zinc and lead price. After high levels in the early fifties, zinc production leveled off, then picked up again in the sixties, before slumping again late in the decade. San Miguel County, basically the Idarado mining operations, followed Eagle County in production" [of zinc]. (Smith, 1977, p. 150-151)
