Hackberry South claim
An Ag occurrence/mine with a 4 foot wide vein. Discovered in 1874 and the South Hackberry mine was sold that same year and developed separately from the Hackberry mine. The geographic coordinates are approximate to proximity of the Hackberry Mine in the same group of claims. This claim/mine is not listed in the USGS MRDS database.
6.1.2 The South Hackberry Mine. Very little mining took place at the South Hackberry mine. Watts (1912) indicated that a 46-meter (150-foot) inclined shaft had been sunk on the property near the claim boundary with the Hackberry Mine. Ridenour (in Watts, 1918) believed that the upper silver-rich mineralized shoot in the Hackberry mine continued into the South Hackberry mine. During 1874 several open cuts were developed to about 6 m (20 feet) in depth, a 21-m (70-foot) shaft was sunk from which several hundred tons of higher grade mineralization were mined and a 27-m (90-foot) shaft was sunk intersecting silver-rich mineralization but the shaft bottomed in alluvium (Watts, 1912).
The projected southeastern continuation of the Hackberry mineralized vein system south of the South Hackberry mine is covered by thick colluvium washed down from the mountain side. Outcrop beyond and southeast of the colluvium shows no obvious indications on the surface of the mineralized zone continuing. Watts (1912) suggested the zone may have been faulted off and a north-trending fault has been mapped immediately east of the South Hackberry zone by Albin (1991). Watts (1912) states that several thousands of dollars in silver-rich, poly-metallic mineralization were recovered from the South Hackberry mine; however several subsequent owners made no apparent systematic attempts to develop the mine. Various sources refer to ongoing litigation and receivership problems.
