Sec 4 T29N R45E. Gold
Structure: Roberts Mountains Thrust; Whisky Canyon Thrust Yankee Dip-Slip Fault; Laramide Faulting
Alteration: Propylitic, Sericitic, Chloritic.
Deposit: Madrid stated that fractures strike n W and dip sw. This area was described by schrader (1934) from a 1930 visit, at which time work was being done by j. Adler and g. Feldman. Madrid visited this site As part of his thesis project and also noted visible gold and abundant sulphides. This record has been merged with m231424, m231425 & m231426, which have been deleted. (note, although earlier records inferred that this was formerly known As mill creek (unknown mrds record), that is not the case. Mill creek is in mill canyon south of horse canyon and referred to by emmons (1910).)
Geology: Quartzite is bluish-grey. Veins less than 2 feet thick, five parallel veins, banded; some disseminated sulphides.
