A former U-Be-REE-Bi-Nb-Ta-Garnet-Feldspar-Mica mine located in sec. 21, T.17N., R.12W. (sec. 26, T.17N., R.14W. - Meeves), about 30 miles South of Hackberry and about 55 miles SE of Kingman on the West side of the Aquarius Mountains. Owned by L.L. Edgerton and the Waldren Mining Co.
Mineralization is pegmatites with a few 2 to 40 feet (12 meters) wide. Parallel pegmatite dikes 2 to 100 feet wide and up to 2,000 feet long.
Workings include several surface cuts: No. 1 = 60 feet long; No. 2 = the eastern cut across a pegmatite 40 feet long and 8 to 10 feet wide by 25 feet high (at face); No. 3 = a small pit; and, No. 4 = a discovery (prospect cut); an adit, a shaft.
