Deposit: In 1945 crosscuts were extended from the stank mine to the yellow scheelite bed on the 300 and 400 levels. The yellow scheelite bed is part of the stank-humboldt belt along with the codd, stank, keyes, george, springer and humboldt workings. The deposit's name was applied because the scheelite found in the deposit was thought to fluoresce a more yellow-color than that from the nearby mines ; info.src : 1 pub lit; 2 unpub rept the yellow scheelite bed is part of the stank-humboldt belt.the yellow scheelite tactite-limestone bed is about 200 ft west of the stank bed and occupies the same relative position to the stank bed As does the george bed. The yellow scheelite and george beds are probably faulted segments of the same bed. According to klepper (1943), the bed was present in the yellow scheelite mine only between the surface and the 200 ft level, and it extended from the springer stock to the pre-granodiorite fault at the north end of the stank mine
Deposit type: W skarn
Ore(s): Limestone Bed Near Granodiorite Stock.
