Comments
Comment (Deposit): SHAFT WAS SUNK ON A BLEACHED-WHITE ZONE ADJACENT TO A 30 TO 40-FOOT THICK SILICIFIED RIB. THE SILICIFIED STRUCTURE CROPS OUT ALONG A N 40 W STRIKE AND DISPLAYS AN IRREGULAR BUT NEAR-VERTICAL DIP. THESE WORKINGS, IN THE WESTERN-MOST PORTION OF THE SILVER CENTER CLAIM BLOCK EXPLORE FRACTURE ZONES THAT MAY PROJECT FROM THE WONDER MINE TO THE SE.
