A former Au-Ag-Fe placer mine / deposit area located in South-central sec. 25, & the NW¼ sec. 36, T4N, R21W, in Ferrar Gulch, a tributary to the Arroyo La Paz, on the western flank of the Dome Rock Mountains, on land of unknown status. Richest and most productive placers of the district.
Mineralization is rough and angular gold nuggets and fine particles, often with iron oxide attached, and with magnetite concentrates in variable thicknesses of angular rock fragments, boulders, sands, and clay. Unsorted to consolidated near the surface but consolidated and cemented in depth. The source of the gold was gold-quartz veins near the head of Ferrar Gulch.
