Mine is developed along a set of quartz veins that parallel joints in a body of diorite. Veins and joints strike n 70 deg w and dip 35 - 40 deg NE. The veins are closely spaced but pinch and swell along their course; the thickness of individual veins is about 5-6 inches in general. The mineralized zone is 5 to 6 feet thick. Workings consist of adits at several levels, prospect pits, and an inclined shaft. (wilden and speed, p.66-67)
Ruins of old stone cabin, square nails and purple glass fragments indicate that activity dates to 1860-1870. It may have been discovered as early as 1849 by emigrants, and it was worked intermittently beginning in the 1860's. a mill was erected in 1863, and a second mill was built later. In 1931, a lovelock group relocated the claims and in 1932, the manitou gold mining co. Was organized. A mill was erected by them in 1937. Their holdings comprised 10 unpatented claims in 1940.
1-2 ft thick from oxide-stained quartz veins follow shear zone in diorite, which is kaolinized and chloritized, and cut by several 1-2 inch thick aplite dikes which are pale green (chloritized). Veins and adjacent wallrocks are fe-oxide stained, some cu oxide staining, wallrock is sheeted parallel to veining to the se (up the slope to the ridge crest), where the zone becomes 20-25 ft thick containing 5-6, 0.5-1 ft thick quartz veins. Zone and vein trend n 30 w, dip 45 NE. Vein material consists of clear and white vitreous quartz, brecciated, with clots of chalcopyrite oxidizing to melaconite, green cu oxides; there are streaks and irregularly shaped droplets of a dark sulfide in the clear quartz.
