Alteration: Volcanics Widely Propylitized With A Pyrite Halo Around The Mineralized Area
Deposit: Well-defined fissure vein the zenoli mine was relocated in 1930 As the morning glory group of nine patented claims by n. Mondarelli. Development consist of four adits, a shaft, and 3,300 feet of other underground workings during 1907-1908 shipments totaled 1,439 tons of ore valued at $67,162 ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Development: Relocated in 1930 As the morning glory group of 9 patented claims
Geology: The deposit is a well defined fissure vein from 1 to 5 feet wide. The lode strikes north, ands dips 45 e. The footwall near the surface is a fault which cuts across the vein displacing it to an undetermined extent below the surface (emmons).
Rock formation(s): Frenchie Creek Volcanics
