Structure: Northeast-Trending Fault Cross Faults, Main Nw Trending Fault
Alteration: Scapolitization
Deposit: Four magnetite veins, 4 to 5 ft wide fine-grained magnetite disseminated throughout the wall rock As far As 25 ft from ore body american ore co. Purchased the property in 1950. Mine production was started in 1952 by the company but later that year mining was contracted to parker brothers construction co. Workings consist of an open pit 150 ft. Long, 100 ft. Wide, 50 ft. Deep. The deposit is on a continuation of the main ne-trending fault which extends from the nearby segerstrom-helzer mine. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept; 3 field observ
