A former Pb-Zn-Au-Ag occurrence/mine located in sec. 6, T19N, R10E, SBM, about 5 km NNW of Kingston Peak, S of Beck Spring. MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated.
Mineralization is hosted in dolomite. The ore body is generally lenticular in form, strikes W and dips 65-75N at a thickness of 4.57 meters and a length of 51.82 meters. Controls for ore emplacement included a fracture. Irregular lens occur along the fracture. They vary from 3 to 15 feet thick. Local rocks include Cenozoic (Tertiary) granitic rocks, unit 1 (Death Valley).
Workings include underground openings comprised of 4 adits. Adit No. 1 contains 260 feet of drifts and crosscuts; No. 2 contains about 400 feet of drifts and crosscuts; No. 3 adit is 60 feet lower and trends SW in barren dolomite. Wright reports 2 additional tunnels, lower on the hill slope, said to be 1,150 feet and 600 feet long, driven in barren rock.
Production data are found in: Goodwin, J.G. (1957): 670.
Comments on the production information: 1950: Recovery: 6% Zn, 8.50% Pb, 2.3 ounces Ag/ton, plus some Au.
Analytical data results: Earlier period result: 20 to 40% Pb, 7 to 10% Zn & 10 to 20 ounces Ag/ton.
