Report: Pardee and Schrader (1933), p. 114, quote: "On the east side of Gladstone Creek, a quarter of a mile above its mouth and about half a mile southwest of the New Era mine, are an open pit and an adit closed by caving, known as the Old Silver mine. The workings are made on a vein 4 feet wide that consists chiefly of quartz and ankerite with a little finely divided pyrite, chalcopyrite, and possibly other sulphides that are segregated in thin dark bands."
