HAN- DEPOSITS OF RED MOUNTAIN REGION. 
by following small seams of g _ kaolin in the country rock. 
There is no regular dired these seams, and they are selves 
curved and irregular. The mine has not produced much, but was 
shipping ore in I 
Carbonate ICim . — This property, in * ew or Humboldt 
Gulch, is opened by a shaft After lying idle for some 
years, work was resumed in 1900. In some ways this < sitisa con- 
necting link between the stock or chimney deposits of Red Mountain 
and tin;- lodesofthe rest of the quadrangle. It resembles in this regard 
the Henrietta mine, which is described on another page. Tl 
the Carbonate King occurs in a distinct fissure, strife 
W. and dipping west about 50 . Th< - a zone, -i to 5 feet wide, 
of crushed country r ck, apparently altered andesite, in which the 
occurs in bunches. There is usually a sofl gouge on the fool wall of 
this crushed zone. The ore is sometimes frozen to the hanging wall. 
sometimes separated by gouge. Between the walls is much kaolin, 
occurring in the interstices _ ts iltered unmineralized 
rock. It also occurs a- seams in tic- wall rock. 
There is a second fissure of similar character which b s< >ff from 
the main lode. It strike X. 2< W. and dips southw< s1 
It consists of a /on.- of crushed rock I to 5 feel wide, containing abun- 
dant kaolin, and separated by gouge from uneven walls. This branch 
fissure contains bunches 
The ore of tin- main lode is an intimate mixture of pyrite, on< 
more sulphobismuthites, ami probably tetrahedrite, with barite as the 
common gangue. No vein quartz was seen. The s tk may vary 
from a few inches to 3 feel in width. It is often absenl altogeth< 
The bismuthiferous varieties carry as much as 500 ounces of silver, 
with lead and copper. Ore worth Less Mian $20 per ton can no 
shipped. 
Midnight mine. — This mine, situated in Corkscrew Gulch, a short 
distance below the Carbonate King, has m> T been 
years. It contained sod _ . but it- i 
expensive by the abundant v el with. It is wholly inae< ss 
at present. 
Other mines. — Many other mines, such as the Senate, Huds 
Charter Oak, and Humboldt, were all formerly active in this 
and have in some cases produced cons se named 
the ore when il occurred, appears ve had the form and cha 
teristics already described as common to the typica Louutain 
deposits. All these mines had been abandoned in i^'.' 1 .' am 
quently were not accessible for study, and very little information 
regarding them could be obtained. Tim Hudson, owned by the 
American Belle Company, was worked through a vertical shafl

bodies. On the first level ore consisl _ pyrite and chalcopyrite
