The Jackson claims lie just northeast of the Slocan silver camp which is centered near the town of
Sandon, 7 km to the southwest (Cairnes, 1934; Hedley, 1952). Veins of the Slocan Camp were
discovered in the early 1890s. Since then, production has come from more than 100 mines,
commonly owned and operated by a number of separate companies or individuals. During the peak
of production, continuing through to the early 1900s, the town of Sandon became a major mining
and business center with a population of over 2,000. In total, more than 1,329,231 tonnes of ore
have been processed in the Slocan camp, with recovery of 885,028 kg of silver, 171,131 grams of
gold, 118,598,884 kilograms of lead and 61,702,785 kilograms of zinc.
