Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Scriber Mine; Jones Mine; Scriber-Jones Mine
A copper mine above the South Fork of the Sultan River. The ore occurred in a shear zone in quartz diorite. It was developed by two adits with around 2000' of workings, an aerial tramway, and a mill.
Structure: Contact Of Gneiss And Batholith
Alteration: Weak Potassic
Tectonics: Cascade Volcanic Arc
Commodity: Ore is slightly radioactive in places
Deposit: Ore in lenses in northeast-trending structures at contact between quartz diorite and metasedimentary rocks. Many quartz veins containing sulfides mrds records d001418, d000688 have been merged with this record and deleted
Deposit type: Porphyry Cu-Mo
Development: No W production
Geology: Region consists of accreted terranes overprinted by cascade magmatism. Hollister indicates goat haven deposit has similar metallogeny and alteration to mazama deposit. Age given is miocene, but batholith is supposed to be oligocene
Rock formation(s): Index Batholith;Index Batholith;Western Melange Belt
