A former lode Au-Ag-Cu mine located in secs. 3 & 4, T32N, R5W, and in sec. 34, T33N, R5W, MDM (coordinates estimated), 1.0 km (3,300 feet) E of Hart site. Located in 1907. Operated 1907-1919 and 1923-1925. This property consisted of 10 claims. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is a vein deposit Deposit model code 273; USGS model code 36a; low-sulfide Au-quartz vein), hosted in andesite. The ore body is pinch and swell in form, strikes N and dips 70E, at a thickness of 9.14 meters. Control for ore emplacement was a fault. Deposit is a series of parallel fissure veins. Most ore came from an ore shoot 600 feet long, raking steeply N. The vein is a few inches to 30 feet thick, averaging 10 feet thick. A rhyolitic dike occurs on surface near the vein. Gold occurs with small amounts of Ag, both associated with sulphides. Local rocks include Paleozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 1 (Eastern Klamath Mountains).
Workings include underground openings with an overall depth of 335.28 meters. They are comprised of a 1,100 foot shaft, a 1,000 foot main adit, several shorter adits at lower levels.
Analytical data results: Au values vary from $4.00 to $30.00 per ton (period values).
