The Camp Bird 12 group of mines, sometimes referred to as the South Workings, are in the Moss Back Member north of South Temple Wash. They are the southernmost large mines of the Temple Mountain area. Among the oldest mines in the district, they were extensively worked before 1944. The production before 1948 is not known, but it probably was at least several hundred tons of high-grade ore (over 1 percent U3O8). The mines were operated again from 1948 to 1952, but since that time through 1965, the only mining had been in the ribs and pillars of the old workings. Part of the ore produced after 1948 was from the mine dumps of the earlier period of mining.
The mine workings consist chiefly of a series of interconnected open stopes, of which one group is along the main Moss Back outcrop belt, and another opens into a minor drainage to the east and is connected with the first group by the Through adit. USGS Bulletin 1192 included a mine map.
Camp Bird 12 group included Mountain King and Mountain King 1, 2, and 3 claims. MRDS ID W018715.
Note that the location given in USGS MRDS ID 10020643 is the same as that in MRDS ID 10020641 for Black Beauty mine, and is inconsistent with that shown in figure 3 of USGS Bulletin 1192.
