An EXPLORATION POSSIBILITY AT THE ARIZONA MINE, PERSHING COUNTY, NEVADA
By Robert E. Wallace and Donald B. Tatlock
ABSTRACT
At the Arizona mine in Pershing County, Nevada, a block of ground that may contain significant bodies of silver ore at a shallow depth appears to have been very Inadequately explored during early mining activity. The block approximates in areal extent a triangle 900 feet on a side and lies between two post-mineral faults, the Ernst and West Side faults.
Production from the Arizona mine has amounted to more than a million dollars in silver since its discovery in 1862. http://www.nbmg.unr.edu/mdfiles/mdfiles.php. Enter "Buena Vista" under "District" and hit Search.

| ▪The Unionville district was organized as the Buena Vista district in 1861 after prospectors found rich ore in Buena Vista Canyon. | ▪ Between 1861 and 1873, the town of Unionville served as the first county seat in the newly formed Humboldt County |
| ▪The Arizona mine, the principal silver mine in the district was discovered in 1862 and actively worked until about 1880. The mine was worked on a small scale to 1959. | ▪ During the period of extensive mining, numerous silver deposits in the vicinity of the Arizona mine were extensively prospected. |
| ▪ The vein at the Arizona mine was developed from two locations about a quarter of a mile apart. | ▪ Most of the mining in the early period was done at the northern half of the mine workings, which are credited with production estimated at between S5 and SI3 million. |
| ▪The south half of the mine workings were explored and mined during the period 1900—1959. Scheelite is associated with silver in the southern workings and was mined intermittently from 1919 to 1959 | |
