Other/historical names associated with this locality:
4-S Prospect; 4S Prospect; Pitney Butte Prospect
A silver-zinc prospect on the northwest side of Pitney Butte. The ore occurred as sporadic quartz vein traceable for around 100'. It was developed by a 500' adit and 3 100' shafts.
Structure: N. 65 Deg. W., 80 Deg. Ne. And N. 75 Deg. E., 70 Deg. Se.
Commodity: Scattered molybdenite occurs in blotches of pegmatitic material and in quartz veins. Uranium is in black soft material.
Deposit: Two zones of fractures are 750 ft. And 600 ft long: scattered outcrops along these zones contain quartz and silicified quartz monzonite.
Development: There are two separate mines in area but these apparently considered to be one combined property under two names: fouress and spokane molybdenum.
Rock formation(s): Quartz Monzonite
Ore(s): Two Zones Of Fractures: N. 65 Deg. W., 80 Deg. Ne. And N. 75 Deg. E., 70 Deg. Se.
