Location: There are several small lode-gold mines, prospects and dry placer deposits in an area known as the Grapevine District. It is in the Paradise Mountains in western San Bernardino County in T12N, R1&2E, SBM, about 15 miles N of Barstow.
Geology: A number of quartz veins in granitic rocks contain free gold, and copper and manganese minerals. The veins are narrow and the deposits are shallow.
Mines: The Olympus Mine apparently in the only property that has had much development work. Also the well-known Waterman silver mine is here.
