Report: Ding Bat-Blue-eyed Maggie Because these two mines explored the same vein and surface features are difficult to separate, they are treated as on site here. The Blue-eyed Maggie was the most extensive of the two, and contained an inclined shaft with 4 levels that followed a N40-50W 20NE vein (McClernan, 1976). The Ding Bat, with 500 feet of drifts, mined a faulted segment of the same vein system (Robertson, 1952). The vein averages 6 inches wide, and yielded 1-1.5 oz/ton gold and 42-63 oz/ton silver. It contains quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, boulangerite, and calcite, and is enclosed in amygdaloidal basalt with chalcedony, calcite, and epidote filling some of the cavities. The dumps on these properties are composed almost entirly of this basalt, and a large spring issues from the middle of one. Water was sampled downstream in Rocker Creek where it enters the national forest.
