A former surface and underground W-Fe-Quartz group of 10 unpatented claims/mine, located a few miles NE of the Black Pearl Mine and South of Camp Wood. Discovered in 1937 by B.E. Joy and A.M. Short. Claims are also located in sec. 26. NOTE: Alternate coordinates provided: 34.7583N, 112.8778W.
Mineralization is veins (pinch and swell) in a complex of granite and schist, largely replaced by coarse-textured pinkish pegmatite. At least 12 veins located. The strike is Eastward and the dip is about 55ºS. The veins are traceable intermittently for lengths of 2,000 to 4,000 feet across the canyon. Filling is coarsely crystalline, grayish-white quartz from 3 inches to 10 feet wide. Vein walls have been strongly sericitized.
