Report: Near Sallie Bell Mine. One small (200-300 ft) caved adit trends S70W. Stream of water described in literature but just some moss now. Acid stream from Red Mountain Mine goes around dump - still obviously toxic. JTHF-2 is vein select mostly dense flinty quartz, gray with abundant pyrite. It contained 0.014 oz/ton gold, 0.38 oz/ton silver, 0.21% copper, 0.04% lead, 0.114% zinc, and 0.85% arsenic. Checked for radioactivity.
