Report: Goodview (BE000210) The Goodview Mine consists of two adits, an inclined drift, and several dumps; all underground entrances were caved in 1994. The site covers approximately 1 acre. The mine explores a replacement body in thinly-bedded shaly limestone (Cambrian Woolsey Shale Formation). The limestone strikes N20E and dips 35Se; the deposit is at the intersection of this limestone and a fissure striking N5E and dipping 85SE (Geach, 1972). The ore shoot was apparently 40' long and 10' wide; it was composed of earthy, oxidized lead minerals. Below the limestone was an altered zone containing quartz grains and impregnated with iron oxide (Geach, 1972). An AIM sample assayed 7760 ppm lead, 3660 ppm zinc, 228 ppm copper, 26.8 ppm silver, trace gold, and 2740 ppm arsenic. Total recorded production for this mine was 1080 tons yielding 163,934 pounds lead, 2204 pounds zinc, 742 pounds copper, 7403 ounces silver, and 179 ounces gold. Production was recorded in 1941-1942, 1948, 1950, and 1954. This dry site is located on BLM land. Geach includes a geologic sketch (plan) map in his 1972 publication.
