Structure: Thrust Faults Nw-Trending Faults; Some Post-Ore Shearing
Deposit: 4 ore shoots along lucky strike fault. The vein is within a north-trending fault zone on the fringe of a copper-gold zone. The vein has been traced for thousands of feet along strike. Several small shipments were made from the mine in 1908. In 1912, development consisted of 70 ft. Cross cut to vein, 400-ft. Of drifts; a 106-ft. Shaft-production was sporadic until united minerals co. Took over the property in 1951. Lenticular ore shoots pinch & swell along strike & down dip. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept
