-MORE THAN 30,000 TONS OF ORE RUNNING BETWEEN 3 AND 6 PERCENT ZN WAS MINED.
-THE ORE BODY IS IN THE BAUTSCH-BLACK JACK TROUGH AND IS 10 TO 40 FT THICK. ABOUT 1,500 GALLONS OF WATER PER MINUTE WAS PUMPED. IN MARCH, 1916, A SERIOUS CAVE IN OCCURRED AT THE NW HEADING. A DRIFT WAS DRIVEN AROUND THE CAVED AREA, BUT ROCK WAS DIFFICALT TO SUPPORT. SO THE MINE WAS ABANDONED. WHEN ABANDONED, THE MINE STILL CONTAINED MINABLE, THOUGH LOW GRADE, ORE.
-ECON.COM: WHEN CLOSED, THE MINE WAS RUNNING 3 PERCENT ZN. PREVIOUSLY, THE GRADE WAS 6 PERCENT.
