A tungsten claim in the Bear Cat group, on the NE side of the Santa Catalina Mts.
Mineralization is granite intruded by a dike about 60 feet (20 meters) wide that strikes N10E & dips 45E. This dike is a fine-grained, dark rock provisionally classified as diorite porphyry. Both its East and West contacts are marked by breccia and gouge together with scheelite-bearing veins. The East vein is a thin streak to about 1 foot (0.3 meters) wide. It consists of coarsely crystalline grayish-white quartz and mineralization. The West vein is 16 inches (40 cm) wide at its collar and increases downward.
Workings include an open cut about 50 feet long and a maximum of 15 feet deep (East vein); and, a 20 foot deep inclined shaft (West vein).
