Deposit: Cut exposes sugary-textured welded tuff in its north end, schistose metasedimentary rock in its south end. A small pit about 20 ft SE of the S end of the cut exposes lenses of quartz-hematite-magnetite formed within the metasedimentary rocks. The lenses strike N 20 W , dip 40 sw. One lens is exposed for about 5 ft of thickness in the pit, another is exposed for 1-2 ft of thickness. Lenses are mostly massive hematite and are conformable to bedding in the metasedimentary rock. Wall rocks near the pit are cut by quartz-epidote veinlets and clots of massive, fine-grained epidote within the rock.
