Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Dragoon claim; Dragoon workings
A Pb-Zn-Ag-Au claim located immediately west of the Defiance Mine. It was opened many years ago by irregular near-surface workings. Owned by A.P. Giacoma (circa 1948).
Here the lower southern slope of the ridge consists of dark impure Permian (?) limestone dipping 20º to 35º eastward. It is separated from marble on the north by a fault that strikes N.80ºE. and dips 50ºN. It is intersected and offset slightly by steeply dipping faults of northerly to northwesterly strike. The impure limestone beds are cut by at least one slip that dips about 35º northward.
Ore occurs with masses of iron oxide replacing the impure limestone chiefly along the easterly fault. There it has been stoped over a width of 5 to 10 feet and a length of 75 feet to a depth of 60 feet below the surface. Other replacements were found beneath the northward-dipping low-angle slip, associated with tight northeast fissures.
Workings include a 60 foot deep shaft (1881).
