Production was only three “carloads” of lead and zinc ore back around 1925. Maybe two years or less of life. Swipe for some still photos. #inyocounty #mines#history#geology#geologyrocks #rocks#minersls#mohavedesert #explore# A post shared by Tom Farley (@tgfarley) on Jul 5, 2020 at 12:00pm PDT — View this post on Instagram Second outbuilding. Better condition. About five feet high. All old buildings lose their roof. Swipe for two more photos. #nopah#explore#geologistonboard #g#geology #geologyrocks #inyocounty #pahrump#desert#mojave# A post shared by Tom Farley (@tgfarley) on Jul 5, 2020 at 12:06pm PDT — View this post on Instagram Looking east to Nevada from the North Nopah Range WA. #inyocounty#roadtrip #quartz #rocks#geology #geologyrocks #rockhounding#exploremore #wilderness#mojavedesert#desert#mines A post shared by Tom Farley (@tgfarley) on Jul 5, 2020 at 11:34am PDT — View this post on Instagram Different photos of the canyon the Mary Ann Mine was in. The ore was in a breccia pipe, a breccia being a rock made of other rock fragments. Dolomite fragments in a green matrix. Found little green although some greenish quartz was here and there. #geologistonboard #geology #rockhound #hiking #quartz #roadtrip #explore#mojave#mojave desert #inyocounty#pahrump#rocks#mines#history A post shared by Tom Farley (@tgfarley) on Jul 5, 2020 at 1:48pm PDT By thomasfarley01 Business writer and graphic arts gadfly.
