Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - The No. 3 vein strikes approximately NW-SE. The main portion of this vein consists of porphyry intermingled at intervals with considerable siliceous material, mostly quartz. The whole body is well mineralized, and substantial values have been reported from the vein (Rogers et al., 1928). The occurrence is located in an area in which the magnetic contours are very irregular as compared to the contours in the rest of the Dome stock.
