A former surface and underground asbestos mine located in sec. 32, T4+N, R17E, about 3¼ miles WNW of Chrysotile, on National Forest land. Claims extend into sec. 29. Owned by the Cibeque Mining Co. of Arizona (1956). NOTE: MRDS file #10027392 seemingly confuses this locality with another (Old Locke Mine ?). That file presents an apparent erroneous relative position for the deposit to the town of Chrysotile (1¼ miles W versus about 3¼ miles measured from topo maps. Further, it places the locality in the Sierra Ancha District when the actual location is nowhere near that district or its mountains.
Mineralization is a linear ore body hosted in the Mescal Limestone. The Mescal Limestone, which lies between two quartzite formations, has been intruded by several diabase sills of variable thickness, which sometimes split and occasionally include isolated masses of limestone. Because of the irregularity of the intrusions the limestone beds exhibit variable attitudes from essentially flat lying to dips of 30 degrees.
Assay data: 1 to 2 inch, harsh to soft asbestos fiber.
