The Sample Site 1393 is a silver, lead, copper, and barium-barite mine located in Lincoln county, Nevada at an elevation of 7,241 feet.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.

Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Note: the land ownership field only identifies whether the area the mine is in is generally on public lands like Forest Service or BLM land, or if it is in an area that is generally private property. It does not definitively identify property status, nor does it indicate claim status or whether an area is open to prospecting. Always respect private property.

Comments
Comment (Development): PROBABLY WORKED IN 1880'S
Comment (Deposit): QUARTZ VEINS ASSOCIATED WITH INTRUSIVE, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ INTERGROWN WITH CALCITE, DISCREET BARITE LATHS AND SIDERITE AND CARRIED CRYSTALLINE PYRITE AND GALENA. LATER INFUSIONS OF SILICA; INTERGROWN DRUSY QUARTZ CRYSTALS WITH CERUSSITE. HEMATITE, MALACHITE AND CHRYSOCOLLA COAT EXPOSED SURFACES AND OCCUR AS INCLUSIONS IN THE LATE-STAGE QUARTZ CRYSTALS. THE DIKE IS HIGHLY FRACTURED AND CRUSHED. LIMESTONE CARRIES OXIDIZED SEDIMENTARY PYRITE CRYSTALS. MN OZ STAINS ON EXPOSED SURFACES. ORE IS SLIGHTLY GOSSANY. A YELLOW-GREEN CRUSTY MATERIAL (ANGLESITE?) COATS SURFACES (POSSIBLY SB OXIDE AS A RESULT OF ALTERATION OF TETRAHEDRITE.)
Comment (Geology): OUTCROPS OF THE INTRUSIVE OCCUR SOUTH OF WORKINGS, ON RIDGE CREST.
