Other/historical names associated with this locality:
New London claim; Storm Cloud claim
A former Ag-Pb-Zn-Au-Cu-fluorspar occurrence/mine located in the SE¼ sec. 13, T22N, R18W, G&SRM, on Bureau of Land Management administered land. Discovered 1885 and closed 1952. The property consists of 2 claims (New London & Storm Cloud). Owned by Ray Williams, Arizona (1945). The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 100 meters.
NEW LONDON MINE.
The New London mine is located at the west base of the range, about one-fourth mile, southwest of the Champion mine, at an elevation of about 3,800 feet, in an open wash, but little above the level of the neighboring Sacramento Valley. The mine was worked during the middle eighties, at which period it produced much good ore. It was closed about 1893 and is now dismantled of all surface equipments, but is regarded as a good property. The owners are Skee Brothers, of Santa Monica, Cal.
The mine is reported to be developed principally by two inclined shafts, drifts, and stopes. Though the deepest shaft is 150 feet in depth, the work is nearly all comprised between the 75-foot level and the surface and in a horizontal extent, of 400 feet.
The vein containing the deposits is said to be similar to that of the Champion mine, but stronger, and to contain large bodies of ore. It strikes about N. 60° W. and dips 55° NE. The ore is said to average high in silver and gold, as well as in lead.

Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in granite. The ore body strikes N60W and dips 55NE. The mineralization is associated with a Late Cretaceous porphyry intrusion. Mineralization is a 3 foot (1 meter) wide vein of galena ore. Associated rocks include Neoproterozoic granite. Local rocks include Early Proterozoic metamorphic rocks.
Regional geologic features include Precambrian schistosity that strikes N30ºE. Veins, fissures and dikes strike NW to NNW regionally.
Workings include underground openings with a length of 121.92 meters and an overall depth of 45.72 meters and comprised of a 150 foot deep shaft (1881).
