Ruby Mountain Mine
A silver mine north of Ruby Hill. It was developed by around 4500' of workings on three levels. Production consists of $144000 from 1901-1940.
Structure: Metamorphics Structurally Trend Generally Nw. Small Fault Offsets North Segment Of Deposit; Trans Verse Faults Offset Parts Of The Vein As Much As 10 Ft; Fault S Paralleling The Veins Have Drawn The Ore Minerals Out Into Thin Dark Gray Bands.
Commodity: Production from 1888 to 1940; hunting, 1956 reports that the 100 ft level of the winze in the main adit contains 2 ore shoots that total 350 ft in length, averge 2.5 ft thick , and contain 18 ozs Ag per ton.
Deposit: Quartz vein average 4-5 ft in width with ore in banded segregations; similar parallel veins. 9 patented claims: arlington, arlington fr., 1806, minnesota, missing link, pomeroy, princess, riley, eureka; an d 3 unpatented claims.
Development: Shallo W shafts, short crosscuts, stopes, and raisesa l45 1940
Geology: The similkameen batholith is composed of hornblende granodiorite, biotite granodiorite, porphyritic granodiorite , qtz diorite, and qtz monz nite. The schists & gneisses were derived from paleozoic sediments & volcanics that were regio nally metamorphosed during a jurassic orogeny. Elsewhere in t he district the predominant rocks are triassic limestone, mar ble, & dolomite, & pre-tertiary qtzite, metagraywacke, amphib olite, greenstone, and metavolcanics. ; geol.desc: quartz fissure vein
