Cliff Claim; Poorman Claim
A zinc mine consisting of two adjoining claims just south of the Mountain Boy Mine. It worked a 6" to 18" vein in argillite. It was developed by several adits, the largest being 100' long. Some ore was produced in 1937.
Structure: Late Paleozoic Sediments Were Deposited Along An Active Continental Margin.
Geology: The deposit is in unnamed late paleozoic argillite.
Ore(s): Breccia At The Poorman Mine Is Cemented By Calcite And Is Sparsely Mineralized With Pyrite And Sphalerite. A 6-18-In-Wide Vein Trending N15e And Consisting Of Banded Quartz And Some Sulfide Minerals Was Encountered In The Adit (Pardee, 1918, P. 97).
