Just a little Adventure with the 50" machines. Located near Jarbidge, Nevada, the Altitude Gold Mine holds historical significance as part of the Jarbidge Mining District, now encompassed by the Humboldt National Forest. Currently inactive with no plans for reopening, the Altitude Gold Mine was classified as a small-scale operation during its active period. The mining activities primarily took place underground, with a single known shaft. The mine reached a maximum subsurface depth of 152 meters (500 feet) and extended for a length of 610 meters (2,000 feet). The extracted ore predominantly consisted of gold and argentite, while quartz formed the predominant waste material. The ore body is characterized as tabular-shaped, with an unknown size. The geological formation in this region comprises rhyolite, originating from the Pliocene epoch approximately 5.33 to 2.58 million years ago. The surrounding area is characterized by the Payette Section of the Intermontane Plateaus, contributing to the distinctive geomorphology. Development: Owned & worked by the jarbidge-buhl mining co.; 6 claims mine opened by 2000 ft. Of workings to the 500 ft level. Owned in 1910 by wm. Connors, c.b. Howard and j.a.
