Porphyry copper deposit with gold and silver contents.
Elder Creek Mine. the Entire Peoperty Consists of Two Groups Of, Claims: the Gracie Group Dewey, Glasgow, Gold Crown, Gracie, Boston, Confidence, Gold Hill, Jap and Fritz Claims and the New York Group New York, Elder Aulder Creek, Gold Hill and Sunday Claims. the New York Group Are Located Near, The Nead of the Main Fork of Elder Creek, While the Gracie Group Claims Are Located To the North and West, Near the Head of the Middle Fork of Elder Creek. As the Story Goes, A Horseman Riding Over the Range In Search of Cattle Was Attracted, By the Peculiar Color of A Piece of Rock That the Hoff of His Horse, Dislodged From What Is Now Known As the Gracie Vein -- Vadner, 1912.
Deposit: One mineralized fault was explored for 500 ft. Along strike and 250 ft. Down dip. From 1917 to 1928, the mine produced 1949 tons ore. The gracie and elder creek mines are treated together here, although they lie on different claims owned by the same people. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Simple Sb (veins, pods, etc)
Geology: Most ore occurs along the mineralized fault
