An Fe mining area.
Structure: Monzonite Dike Was Intruded Along The West-Northwest Trending Axis Of A Large Anticline.

Commodity: Analytical data from c.m. Harrer and f.j. Kelly, 1963 p. 82. Copper is present in accessory minerals associated with igneous dike contacts.

Deposit: Deposits occur As lenticular replacements of limestone adjacent to a west-northwest striking monzonite dike. Dimensions established for 23 ore bodies ranged from 150 ft. To 1500 ft. In length and from 1 ft. To 30 ft. In thickness. Magnetite and hematite have also concentrated in placers and colluvial deposits constituting As much As 70 % of the mass. 32 unpatented lode claims and 8 placer claims kelley, v.c., 1949, reported indicated reserves of about 143000 tons and inferred reserves of 510000 tons which would average 55 % to 60 % fe. Nearly 90 % of the reserves occur in 10 ore bodies. ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept

Development: During 1942 the USBM explored the deposits with 58 trenchs and sampled 50 of the trenches, 2 old shafts, a crosscut and an adit. In 1959 the deposits were core-drilled by cleveland cliffs iron co.

Rock formation(s): Yeso


Ore(s): Ore Deposition Was Controlled By Favorable Host Rock For Replacement Processes, Proximity To Intrusive Igneous Rocks, And Small-Scale Anticlinal Folds In The Host Rock.
