In 1903 the Wedekind shaft in the Wedekind mining district (SW¼ Sec. 28, T20N, R20E) encountered hot, acid water at 65 m. A 570-L/min pump was able to hold the water at the 100-foot (30.5 m) level. The water was heavily charged with H2S, and several miners in the bottom of the shaft were overcome by heat and H2S (Morris, 1903; Overton, 1947, p. 84). Warm water is reported in a 69-m-deep well in the same section and 88°C water was found in a 55-m-deep well located about 3 km to the southeast (SE¼ Sec. 34, T20N, R20E) (unpub. well driller's reports in the Office of the Nevada State Engineer). A second, shallower well at this later location had 46°C water in a 40-m well. Also, hot water was encountered in shallow drill holes slightly more than 3 km to the west, near the US 395–North McCarran intersection and just to the east at the intersection of North McCarran and Northtowne Lane (NW¼ Sec. 31, T20N, R20E (R. Kroll, written commun., 2004). Geothermal data are somewhat limited because few wells have been drilled in the area recently. Based on the available data, the area of potential geothermal resources in the vicinity of the Wedekind mining district is believed to be an elongate 1 km by 5 km zone in the northeastern Truckee Meadows.
