A silver mine on the south side of Peacock Mountain near Ruby. It was developed by several adits, the longest being 1000' long. Some production came from the mine but it was generally unprofitable.
Note: Huntting (1956) has some confusion in this mine by separating it out into a "group" and a "mine".
Structure: Late Triassic Rocks Of The Area Formed In An Active Margin Setting. The Conconully Pluton Is A Directionless, Post-Tectonic Pluton That Was Intruded Into A Major Structural Zone (Stoffel, K.L., Dger, 1990, Oral Commun.).
Deposit: Underground workings at the nevada mine consisted of four shafts, the deepest which is 220 feet, several hundred feet of drifts, and a 1000-ft adit (moen, 1973). ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Geology: The deposit is in hornblende- and biotite-bearing schist and quartz diorite gneiss near the contact with the conconully pluton of cretaceous age, according to moen (1973). The deposit is shown As being within the metamorphic complex of conconully by stoffel (1990) and is shown by rinehart (1981) to be at the contact of the conconully pluton of cretaceous age and metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of permian and triassic age that are elsewhere (rinehart and fox, 1976) shown As the metamorphic complex of conconully.
