A former W-Au mine located in secs. 7 & 8, T15S, R41E, MDM, 5.6 km (3.5 miles) SE of Ubehebe Peak (coordinates of record), SSE of "The Racetrack" (3 miles S of Goldbelt Spring), on National Park Service wilderness land (Death Valley National Park/Death Valley Wilderness). Operated in 1917. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
Small tungsten deposits within the monument have been found at the Sheepshead-Victory Group in Trail Canyon, near Goldbelt Spring at the Shorty Harris Prospect, and in various locations east of Skidoo.
In 1941 the Shorty Harris Tungsten Mine, composed of two claims three miles south of Goldbelt Spring and ten miles east of Dodd Spring, was owned by Bert Hunter of Olancha and E.G. Mason of Los Angeles. The only other data found on this gold and tungsten property concerns its purchase by William C. Thompson of San. Fernando, California, who also owned the Saddle Rock.Greene, 1981
Mineralization is hosted in granite and dolomite. The ore body is 304.8 meters long. Local rocks include Carboniferous marine rocks, unit 3 (SE California Clastic Assemblage).
Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of open cuts and a short adit of 20 feet in length.
Production data are found in: Tucker, W. Burling & Reid J. Sampson (1941).
