Structure: Compound Thrust Faults, Perhaps In Front Of Deep Roberts Mountain Thrust Fault To West; Later Block Faulting. Complex Faulting
Alteration: Oxidation To 1000 Ft
Deposit: Ore is replacement in eldorado dolomite in upper plate of ruby hill thrust fault at fault zone. The property was worked from 1873 to 1906 and over 500,000 tons of ore was produced. The property contains the champion & buckeye claims N the south side of ruby hill, the richest of five mineralized blocks in the district. The eureka consolidated company no W owns numerous old mines and prospects throughout the district and therefore no location is listed. Water is found at 2500 feet. Sulfide ore is located belo W the water zone in 5 belts or clusters; none are found belo W the ruby hill thrust. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement
Development: WORKED FROM 1873 TO 1906
Geology: Ore occurs As irregular replacement bodies along the eldorado dolomite. The ore is in the upper plate of the ruby hill thrust at the intersection with the ruby hill normal fault (n40w).
Rock formation(s): Eldorado Dolomite
Ore(s): Fractured, Permeable Zones; Ruby Hill Thrust
