Report: Silver Queen Dry shaft. Not much to see. Vein material near shaft was bull quartz and boxwork with agreen tint (maybe chlorite). Old headframe still in place (07/31/1992). Quartz breccia within granodiorite was mined through a shaft (now caved) at the Silver Queen. A select samp of vein contained significant silver, but other metal values were low (0.010 oz/ton gold, 4.58 oz/ton silver, 0.047% copper, 0.02% lead, 0.030% zinc, and 0.09% arsenic).
