Deposit: Brecciated rhyolite is irregularly veined and cemented by very fine-grained quartz that is almost chalcedonic in appearance. The high-grade material was small in amount and extended only a few feet below the surface. The Farrington lease was on a quartz-calcite vein 12-14 ft wide of banded, coarsely crystalline calcite with lamellar quartz, in part drusy, along the footwall.
Development: This was the site of the first discovery of high-grade ore in the district.
Rock formation(s): Esmeralda.
