Report: A & B A few hundred feet of underground workings were accessible through a shaft, now caved and dry. A quartz-rich altered rhyolite hosts a white, banded quartz vein. A sample (BJCP-1) of altered rhyolite and vein ran 0.008 oz/ton gold, 1.08 oz/ton silver, .016% copper, .02% lead, .03% zinc, and .19% arsenic. The dump has 2 lobes. The first one is 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, 8 feet high. The second one is 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and 8 feet high. There is a pipe sticking out of the caved shaft. The country is quartz-rich, strongly altered rhyolite (?). The quartz is white and banded in some pieces. Some of the quartz is almost vesicular.
