Sec 15 T1N R66E
Development: Hamburg mines co was organized in 1916 to work the mine which had been idle since 1893. In 1919 it was reported that work was soon to be resumed. A carload of ore was ready for shipment in 1920 at which time development work was progressing slowly

Geology: The ore vein is less than a foot thick, with limonite or red jasper carrying pb carbonate. Vein matter spreads out laterally from the main fissure along joints, small fissures or bedding planes, forming bunches of ore. The dacite vitrophyre dike is rich in biotite, hornblende, and andesine crystals, and is 5 feet thick, cutting transversely through the vein

Rock formation(s): Mendha
