Report: Silver King Two open adits, two caved adits, a caved shaft, an an open stope test a N42E 65SE zone of quartz, galena, chalcedony, and malacite through 500-1000 feet of workings. Emmons and Calkins (1913) also reported tetrahedrite and a "sooty black sulfide". A select sample of vein material contained .008 oz/ton gold, 4.49 oz/ton silver, .015% copper, .95% lead, and .391% zinc; the likely commodity was silver (as the name indicates). Host is Cambrian Hasmark dolomite.
