‡Ref.: Jahns, R.H. (1952), Pegmatite deposits of the White Picacho District, Maricopa and Yavapai Cos., AZ, AZ Bur. Mines Bull. 162: 51, 78-80.

A feldspar mine located in the W½ sec. 16, T.7N., R.3W., on the NW side of San Domingo Wash.

The South prospect is in a large, somewhat bulbous dike with a general outline like that of a bowling pin. It trends East, and appears to dip steeply North. It is about 300 feet long and 70 feet in maximum outcrop breadth, and its broadest part forms a distinct topographic knob. Several stubby projections extend southward on both sides of the ridge.

The pegmatite body consists of 5 readily distinguishable zones. (see Jahns (1952)).
