Deposit: Deposit consists of veinlets and lenses of ore in breccia and shatter zones along two northeast-striking faults. Finely crystalline fluorite occurs in veinlets up to 12 inches thick and have been exposed in workings to a depth of 15 ft... Two unpatented claims in the 1950's. According to mr. Frost the property is basically a uranium property. Fluorspar occurs in a shattered zone along a vein in quartzite to a depth of 15 ft where it pinches out. It can be found on the surface for only a few feet from the shaft. Fluorite is finely crystalline and purple; it occurs in veinlets ranging from 1 to about 12 inches. No uranium minerals were associated with fluorspar. Record # d009840 by jerry l. Haug has been incorporated into this record. ; info.src : 1 pub lit
