Lucky Bar, Jim Crow, Monitor, Monitor No. 2 Claims, Hog Pen, Gold Cup, NBMG Sample Sites 1749, 1750


Structure: Abundant Normal Faults

Commodity: A telluride(?) free gold.

Deposit type: Epithermal vein, Comstock

Development: Captain de la mar purchased claims in 1893 and began the active development that made the district the main gold producer of nevada just after 1894. Delamar mine remained nevada's biggest gold producer until 1900, shut down in 1909. First ore was discovered by a group of italians headed by john vietti working on a lease. Lucky bar claim, located by john roeder, goldcup claim located by joe conway, john roeder and cap garden. Mine operated under bambergers from 1902 to 1909, but shut down until 1932 except for cleanups in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1926. In 1931, the caliente cyaniding co was preparing to treat tailings from the delamar mill. The jack berry lease on the lucky bar (hog pen) claim produced considerable shipping ore. Dumps had been trenched and sampled within past few years (as of 1983).

Geology: Ore is found in the delamar or monitor vein, extending 2700 feet, with 5 main ore shoots. Distribution of the ore shoots found in callaghan, 1937 figure 11. Thickness varies up to 300 feet. Material of all grades found in the shoots; grade decreased rapidly belo W level 10. The ore consists chiefly of a breccia cemented by cherty quartz, also found in cherty quartz veins and along bedding planes and fractures. Most was oxidized, with a reddish or greenish tint. Only the hog pen ore shoot contained free gold

Rock formation(s): Prospect Mountain Quartzite


Ore(s): Brecciation Due To The Faulting, Rhyolite And Black Dikes
