Structure: Faults

Commodity: The ore is highly siliceous, w/quartz, calcite gangue.

Deposit: Replacement ore bodies in polomite localized by brecciated, fractured, faulted zones worked from 1881 to 1892, 4,550 tons of ore worth $206,308 were produced (nolan 1962). The property lies on the north side of the prospect ridge area, one of five mineralized blocks in the district ; info.src : 1 pub lit

Development: WORKED FROM 1881-1892

Geology: The ore occurs As irregular replacement bodies and pods concentrated into a pipelike habit.

Rock formation(s): Hamburg Dolomite

Ore(s): Brecciated, Faulted, Fractured, Permable Zones
