A former Pb-Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn occurrence/mine located in secs. 6, 7 & 18, T10N, R2W, SBM, 1.3 km (0.8 mile) NNE of Mount General and 7.4 km (4.6 miles) ENE of Hinkley and about 6 miles NW of Barstow, on the lower N slope of the mountain (4 miles NE of the Hinkley School), on private (patented) land. Operated by the Golden Witch Mining Company, California (1952). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in volcanic rock (aphanitic), quartz latite, granite, and granitic gneiss. The ore body strikes NW and dips 70E at a thickness of 3.05 meters and a length of 1,609.34 meters. The country rock is poorly exposed, appears to be felsite and quartz latite on the southern claim, granite and granite gneiss on the northern claim. The vein at surface is brecciated and contains fragments of wallrock and is heavily iron-stained. Local rocks include Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits.
Workings include surface and underground openings with an overall depth of 82.3 meters and comprised of 2 shafts ¾ mile apart, both inclined 70SE. The N shaft is 200 feet deep with short drifts at different levels. The S shaft is 270 feet deep with 5 levels, drifts on the levels, none larger than 30 feet. A crosscut on the 100 foot level was driven W. There are also 45 prospect pits and shallow shafts between the 2 main shafts.
