Comments
Comment (Deposit): Discovery Year: EARLY 1870'S
Comment (Location): CUTTER CLAIM IS SOUTHERNMOST CLAIM IN SILVER CORD GROUP AND IS PROBABLY LOCATED 0.5 MILES SOUTHEAST OF SILVER CORD MINE
Comment (Development): MOST PRODUCTION IN 1919-1930
Comment (Geology): SILVER CORD IS VEIN DEPOSIT NOT SPECIFICALLY SPATIALLY RELATED TO MIOCENE DIKE, BUT BELIEVED TO BE SAME GENERAL AGE AS DIKES. CUTTER IS SOUTHERN CLAIM IN SILVER CORD GROUP
Comment (Deposit): GEOLOGY IDENTICAL TO SILVER CORD MINE ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT; 2 UNPUB REPT
