Comments
Comment (Development): ACTIVE IN 1870'S AND 1880'S ALSO LATER PERIOD OF ACTIVITY AS INDICATED BY A LARGE DEFUNCT, HEAP LEACH OPERATION ACROSS THE MOUTH OF THE CANYON SERVICING THE MINES. ; ECON.COM: SOME PRODUCTION BUT AMOUNT AND DATES ARE UNKNOWN.
Comment (Workings): THERE ARE 18 SHAFTS,NUMEROUS ADITS AND PROSPECTS AND A LARGE HEAP LEACH OPERATION AND GOOD ROADS.
Comment (Geology): QUARTZ VEINS AND BRECCIA IN FISSURES SOME OF THE VEINS WERE NOT FAULT HOSTED. SINCE FREE GOLD WAS REPORTED IN THE AREA , IT MAY BE THAT THE CENTRAL MINES HAD THE SAME TYPE OF DEPOSIT AND THEREFORE MINED THE VEIN SYSTEM TO THE SURFACE. ; GEOL.DESC: REFER TO RECORD NO. M035284
Comment (Location): SHAFTS & PROSPECTS ASSOCIATED WITH CENTRAL MINE
