An Fe-asbestos mine located about 4 air miles E of the Aztec Lodge. The Pueblo group consists of 15 claims; the Lucky Strike group consists of 6 claims.
Mineralization is an irregular ore body hosted in Mescal Limestone Ore control involves three beds containing massive to disseminated magnetite, to as much as 18 feet thick. Locally, they are separated by about 10 feet of altered and serpentinized limestone and asbestos.
Character samples contain 51.0 to 58.7% Fe; 0.05 to 0.3% Mn; 5.7 to 14.6% SiO2; 0.01 to 0.03% P; 0.01 to 0.10% S; 0.09 to 0.30% TiO2; 0.3% Al2O3; and a spectrographic analysis showing 0.01% Cu; 0.04% Zn; and 0.01% Pb. The Pueblo and Lucky Strike Mines also contain asbestos that is ¼ - 1½ inches long, is soft, and has high tensile strength.
Workings in the Pueblo group consist of several adits and shallow cuts. Past production.
