Geology: The ore vein is less than a foot thick, with limonite or red jasper carrying pb carbonate. Vein matter spreads out laterally from the main fissure along joints, small fissures or bedding planes, forming bunches of ore. The dacite vitrophyre dike is rich in biotite, hornblende, and andesine crystals, and is 5 feet thick, cutting transversely through the vein
