Prof. Paper No. 110, Eept. XV, pp. 90-92. Chalmers Mine, (Lead-silver.) Deep Springs district. Situated16 miles northeast of Big Pine, in Inyo Range of mountains, nearAntelope Springs. Ore occurs on contact between limestone and quartzdiorite. Vein 2 to 4 feet wide, strikes NW. and SE. Dip 45° is carbonate of lead and galena. Tunnel 70 feet in length, andan open cut on vein. Ore reported to carry high grade silver Sam Chalmers of Big Pine, Photo No. 29. Cerro Gordo Mine, Keeler, Inyo County; Cerro Gordo Mines Company, owner. Christmas Gift Mine. (Lead-silver.) Darwin district, 2 milesnorth of Darwin. Elevation 5300 feet. Holdings consist of five country rock in the vicinity of mine consists of white lime-silicaterocks pierced by small intrusions of augite diorite porphyry. Thelime silicate rocks are distinctly stratified, and strike N. 30° W. anddip 25° W. Dikes and small masses of porphyry penetrate the lime-silicate strata in the surrounding area, especially west and southwestof the mine. The vein strikes N. 40° E. and dips 75° SE. In widthranges from 2 to 8 feet, averaging 4 feet. The ore forms in irregularmasses in vein. Lead carbonate and sulphate associated with iron jas-per form the vein filling material. The unoxidized ore consists ofgalena. Fluorite, abundant elsewhere in the district, is exceedinglyrare as a gangue material. Developments: Incline shaft sunk on
