Hermit’s Home

The Hermit’s Home claim is located in Rattlesnake Canyon, a north branch of Agua Caliente Canyon, at an elevation of 6,300 feet. It is on a diorite and granite contact zone containing considerable epidote with small pockets of quartz containing galena, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite. A fault dipping 80° SSW in the course pink country rock granite is associated with a foot of crushed silicified granite containing much white mica and a little disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite, and chalcocite. The deposit is opened by a 130 foot tunnel on the northwest side of the canyon.²
