Structure: Monoclinal Low Westward Dip, About 0.5 Degrees W.
Tectonics: Interior Basin; Deltaic Red Bed Margin
Commodity: Loc. 225 is old spring s. Of shaft near wiggley hill (p. 27-28). Loc. 224 is green sandstone and malachite, sw-sw-sec. 20 in wellington (p. 27). Locs. 222-223 are sw-nw-19-4n-1e in sandstone in wiggley hill (given As sw-sw-19, probably incorrect).
Deposit: The basal garber is lenticular sandstone and shale, about 13 ft thick, with malachite, chalcocite, barite, and some hematite and pyrite. Wiggley hill extends from sec. 24-4n-1 W through sec. 19-4n-1e. An additional locality is given in sec. 20, SE of wiggley hill 0.5-1.0 mi.
Geology: Shead (1929, p. 27-28) mentions that most of these occurrences in t. 4 n., r. 1 e. Are in sandstones, under lease of teepee queen copper co. Lobell (1986) mentions that most of the minerals are in the garber sandstone. Geology by hart (1974).
