Linda K., Victory; Red Cap, Red Hat Claims
Deposit: Sedimentary rocks are considerably sheared and contain hard blocks and lenses of silicified limestone and quartzite locally stained with jarosite and iron oxides. Main fractures trend northerly and dip eastward. The original mining done here followed a limestone-shale contact along which cinnabar occurred As coarse crystals disseminated in the limestone. In 1981, very little limestone or cinnabar was visible in the bulldozed exposures.
Deposit type: Hot-spring Hg
Development: First developed As the victory prospect by its locators in 1943-44, but abandoned without production. In 1956, curtis davis and c.r. Carpenter located the 4 linda k. Claims apparently on this ground and in 1957 they reported production of a couple of flasks hg. The linda k. Property was leased to utex uranium in 1959 but title was dropped after 1960. In 1963 the ground was relocated by e.j. Bottomly and r.j. Storms. From 1967 to 1970 exploration and perhaps some mining done here by canyon state mining co., but since 1957, no production has been recorded.
