Report: C & D The C & D mined a 3 foot thick N35E 45-90SE (Roby, 1960) replacement zone along bedding in Mission Canyon limestone near the contact with Boulder Batholith quartz monzonite. The ore is brecciated quartz and limestone with pyrite, galena and cerrusite in an iron oxide matrix (USGS, 1978; Weed, 1901). The highest values from 27 samples taken by the USGS were .13 oz/ton gold and 2.7 oz/ton silver, and apparently the ore was used principally as a flux at the smelter. Underground maps (USGS, 1978) show 1 open adit with 500 feet of workings and 3 caved shafts up to 250 feet deep and 3 levels (Klepper, 1957).
