West Slope of North Wicks Canyon
The mine workings along the west slope of North Wicks Canyon (other than the Wicks group and the Morning Glory) are typically adits and trenches, like the one pictured at the top of the following page. The following photographs, which depict the west slope of North Wick’s Canyon were taken on August 5, 2016.
George T. Harley, in The Geology and Ore Deposits of Sierra County, New Mexico describes these workings as “on the east side of the long ridge which separates Wicks Gulch and Ready Pay Gulch on the west. Some ore was taken from these workings in years past, but except for sporadic reopening similar to that of the Morning Glory operations, these mines have been idle and are largely caved.” (p. 158)
