The Jerry Johnson Mining Company owns the larger parts of the Jerry Johnson claims Nos. 1 and 2, as well as the Arapahoe and Little Pedro claims. The output to 1904 is about $125,000. The developments consist of the Jackson shaft, 450 feet deep; also two smaller shafts and about 1,000 feet of drifts and crosscuts. The elevation of the collar of the Jackson shaft is about 10,350 feet. The country rock is almost exclusively breccia, the workings approaching the schist contact in only one place.
The two principal veins are the Jerry Johnson, striking about N. 20° W. and dipping 45° WSW., and the W. P. H. vein, which first courses almost due north and then changes to north-northwest, with a dip of 50° W. Both veins are oxidized throughout and appear as narrow seams of clay or drusy quartz with silicification extending for several inches on each side of the vein. In some places there are a few more narrow parallel seams, making the width of the vein range up to 4 feet. The ore contains very little fluorite.
