Deposit: Scheelite occurs in a narro W tactite zone along the contact between calcareous metasediments and granite. The contact generally parallels the bedding with some tongues of grandiorite cutting across the beds. Narro W bands of tactite have been formed in places along the contact. Scheelite mineralization occurs erratically I N most of the tactite. K-spar veining on a minor scale noted. Jeakins mine is given preference by tingley and stager (NBMG bull. 105). Site overlaps empire & gerlach districts. This record has been merged with m234142 and m242623, which have been deleted.
Deposit type: W skarn
Development: Property was acquired by j. J. Thrasher during 1951, but the only recorded production was by c. B. Jeakins in 1968. Stormy day claims strung out over 5 miles along the mountain front in 1984. Assessment notice for 1983 posted.
