A barite prospect on the south side of Bruce Creek. The barite occurred as folded veins parallel to the bedding of argillite. A cut was the only development.
Deposit: The uribe and ohman prospects are located on the same barite bed. The uribe is on the n W end the ohman is on the SE end. Both deposits combined are called the bruce creek deposit. The bruce creek deposit is controled by c.e. Minerals(as of 1983). See sequence number 0530650388 for a complete description of the deposit. C.e. Plans to mine bruce creek after flagstaff mt is mined out. Thus the two deposits are lumped together in one mas report.
