Rogers Mine
Three lenticular pegmatite bodies crop out at the prospect. The lowest pegmatite is 300 feet long, has an outcrop width of 75 feet and trends N. 70Β° W. It cuts across the foliation of the wall rocks and seems to plunge northward. The footwall contact (the only one exposed) is fluted and grooved and suggests that the body was emplaced along a fault. At the southeast end of the body it strikes N. 60Β° E. and dips 30Β° NW.
The middle pegmatite is 300 feet long, 20 feet thick, strikes N. 10Β° W., and extends almost horizontally into the hillside. The upper pegmatite is exposed over an area 600 feet by 300 feet. It caps a low hill. It is about 125 feet thick, and seems to dip 20Β° to 30Β° SW. The middle and upper pegmatites are sharply discordant to the wall rock.
