Jackpot shaft, Buffalo shaft. Sec 25,30 T19N R43,44E
Structure: Fractures, Postmineral Faults
Deposit: The lodes consist of a zone of shearing, brecciation, and alteration with lenses of vein quartz at intervals between them. Ore was shipped in 1908. The mine was worked mainly from 1905 to 1911 with later reopenings. Some mining was done about 1920. In 1936 and 1937 much of the activity of the austin silver mining co. Was concentrated here and some ore was milled. The mine is one of the few that contains enough gold to be of commercial interest. The richest available assay showed 2.48 ounces of gold and 365 ounces of silver to the ton.
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Ore(s): Fault And Joint Fractures
