Commodity: Primary ore probably consisted of argentiferous galena and mesitite (ferroan-manganoan magnesite).

Deposit: Supergene enriched replacement bodies 15-75 m. Long and 9-18 m. Wide in fusselman dolomite along a n-trending fracture zone 600 m. Long. The bremen and seventy-six claims were patented in 1884, mineral survey numbers 61 and 62 covering 40.88 acres. Discovery year: early 1870's

Deposit type: Polymetallic replacement

Development: Discovered in 1871 with major production between 1873-1893 and some production until 1937. Manganiferous iron ore mined in 1916 and in the early 1940's.

Rock formation(s): Fusselman Dolomite


Ore(s): Fault-Fracture Structural Control.
