INTRODUCTION

This

pamphlet

contains

tabular

information

keyed

to

the

accompanying

map.

Table

1

lists

site

names

numerically

keyed

to

the

map;

sites

are

organized

by

county

and

numbered

consecutively by

mining

district

within

each

county.

Site

numbers

were

assigned

geographically

by

county

with

the

intention

of

making

it

as

easy

as

possible

to

find

a

particular

number

on

the

map

after

the

site

name

and

number

have

been

identified

in

table

1.

The

site

name

listed

is

the

one

that seemed

to

be

most

commonly

used

and

is

usually

the

name

of

a

mine (for

lodes)

or

a

creek

or

gulch

(for

placers).

In

some

cases,

the

name

is

that

of

a

claim,

a

group

of

claims,

or,

rarely,

an

exploration

project.

For

simplicity,

most

of

the

descriptive

terms

by

which

the

sites

listed

in

table

1

have

variously

been

known

have

been

dropped

from

the

list

(such

as

"mine,"

"lode,"

"shaft,"

"tunnel," "deposit,"

"incline,"

"fraction,"

and

so

on.)

In

a

few

cases,

the

descriptive

"placer,"

"group,"

"property,"

"dredge

workings,"

or

"prospect,"

label

has

been

retained

for

clarity,

to

avoid

duplication,

or

because

the term

is

an integral

part

of

the

site

name.

Synonymous

names

are

listed

where

they

are

known,

as

are

the

names

of

properties

whose

production

was

lumped

with

that

of

the

property

listed

under

"Site

name."

Metals

and

other

commodities

known

to

be

present

are

listed

in

table

1

in

approximate

order

of

decreasing

economic

importance.

Several

different

sources

were

used

to

determine

what

commodities

were

present

including

descriptions and

analyses

in

the

literature,

production

and

grade

figures,

and

unpublished

U.S.

Geological

Survey

chemical

analyses

and

mineral

identifications.

For

some

small

mines,

and

for

some

mines

that

ceased

production

long

ago,

the

list

of

commodities

present

is

likely

incomplete.

For

lode

mines

having

recorded

production,

not

all

the

commodities

listed

were

necessarily

recovered some

may

be

minor

elements

that

are

listed

because

they

record

the

geochemical

signature

of

the

deposit.

Industrial

commodities,

however

(like

silicon

or

abrasive

sand),

are

listed

only

when

they

were

produced.

Silver

is

listed

as

a

commodity

along

with

gold

for

aT

placer

mines

because

we

are

confident

that

silver

was

produced

and,

eventually,

refined,

even

from

those

placer

deposits

whose

gold

was

of

high

fineness.

Host

rock

type

as

given

in

table

1

is

that

from

which

the

gold

or

gold-bearing

minerals

were

ertracted

(for

disseminated,

stockwork,

exhalative,

brecc

5

^

pipe,

and

placer

deposits)

or

the

rock

surrounding

tl

?.

gold-

bearing

material

(for

vein,

replacement,

and

skarn

deposits).

An

entry

is

included

under

"Asrociated

igneous

rocks"

if

there

is

a

close

spatial

relationship

between

the

host

rock

and

an igneous

body

(or

bodies)

or

some

other

reason

to

suspect

a

genetic

relationship

between

the

igneous

rock

and

ore.

If

the

host

ro<*k

is

an

igneous

rock

and

no

other

igneous

rock

is

present,

the

rock

name

or

names

listed

under

"Host

rock

tj^e"

are

repeated

under

"Associated

igneous

rocks."

Most

of

the

lithologic

terms

used

are

taken

from

the

literatve,

and

therefore

the

rigor

of

the

terminology used

reflects

the

source

of

the

information.

Rock

names

may

b?

based

on

detailed

petrographic

study,

geochemistry,

or

field

descriptions

of

any

degree

of

precision.

We

did

try,

however,

to

use

the

most

accurate

description

available.

Locations

are

listed

in

table

1

to

the

nearest

second

of

latitude

and

longitude.

Mine

locations

were

either

digitized

or

manually

interpolated

from

the

largest

scale

map

available

at

the

time

the

work

wa^

done,

usually

the

standard

edition

U.S.

Geological

Survey

l:24,000-scale

topographic

quadrangles.

Where

1:24,000

maps

have

not

yet

been

published

or

have

been

published

only

as

the

Provisional

Edition,

l:62,500-scale

maps

were

used.

Table

1

lists

a

maximum

of

five

sources

of

data

for

any

property.

The

references

listed

as

sources

of

data

may

not,

therefore,

constitute

a

complete

list

of

sources.

Where

possible,

we

tried

to

include

at

least

one

recent

reference

that

would

allow

a

reader

to

compile

a

more

complete

list

if

desired.

Table

2

lists

both

primary

site

names

and

synonymous

names

alphabetically

and

gives

the

site

number

for

each

so

the

information

may

be

cross

referenced

to

either

the

map

or

table

1.

Primary

names

(those

names

listed

as

site

names

in

table

1)

are

followed

by

"(L)"

for

"lode

deposits"

or

"(P)"

for

"placer

deposits."

Other

names

are

synonyms

from

the

second

column,

table

1.

Where

production

from

more

than

one

mine

is

designated

by

a

single

location

symbol

on

the

map,

the

names

of

the

other

mines

are

included

in

this

index even

though

they

are

not

true

synonyms

(for

example,

the

symbol

denoting

the

Zortman

open

pit

mine

includes

historic

production

from

the

Ruby,

Mint,

Alabama,

and

other

underground

mines

worked

in

the

19th

and

early

20th

centuries).

Site

names

like

"Lower

Prickly

Pear

Creek"

are

listed

under

both

"Lower"

and

"Prickly,"

but

variant

spellings

that

would

cause

no

confusion

during

an

alphabetical

search

(for

example

"Nine

Mile"

vs.

"Ninemile")

are

listed

only

once

if

there

is

only

one

Nine

Mile

mine.

Duplicate

names

or

names

that

might

be

easily

confused

(like

the

Blue

Bird

mine

in

Jefferson

County

and

the

Bluebird

mine

in

Madison

County)

are

followed

by

the

name

of

the

county

to

distinguish

them

or

by

the

name

of

the

mining

district

with

which

they

were

most

commonly

associated

where

duplicate

names

occur

in

the

same

county.

The

designation

"creek"

and

"gulch"

should

be

considered

synonyms

in

table

2.

Many narrow,

deep

canyons

that

were

called

gulches

in

the

geologic

literature

of

the

1800's

and

early

1900's

are

shown

as

creeks

on

modern

topographic

maps.

We

have

in

most

cases

followed

the

terminology

used

by Lyden

(1948)

and

have

not

included

all

possible

variations

of

the

same

name

in

the

index

(for

example

"Henderson

Creek,"

"Henderson

Gulch,"

"Henderson

placer,"

"Henderson

Bar").

Table

3

lists

the

names

of

mining

districts

alphabetically

and

the

site

numbers

for

the

deposits

each

district

comprises.

Although

some

mining

districts

were

established

formally

and

had

well-defined

boundaries,

many

districts

exist

only

because

the

name

was

in

common

use

by

the

local

miners,

merchants,

and

other

inhabitants.

Historically,

the term

"mining

district"

has

been

used

rather

loosely,

the

boundaries

of

most

districts

are

ill-defined,

and

the

names

of

the

districts

have

changed

over

time.

The

inclusion

of

any

single

locality

within a

specific

district

is

in

many

cases

a

subjective

decision.

Table

3

lists

district

names

that

are

or

were

commonly

used

in

the

geologic

literature

as well

as

a

number

of

regions

called

"areas"

that

are

used

to

group

mines

that

lie

outside

of

formally

or

informally

established

mining

districts.

of
