"village of Proletarskoe is 50-75 km east of Karaganda, Altyn-Tube across small stream Altyn-Su about 10 km from Proletarskoe, Altyn-Tube means “Golden Mountain”, is a small quarry in a small limestone hill."
There is a town of Proletarskiy that fits this description. see http://www.multimap.com/home.html
Karaganda,
Kazakhstan 49.8° N 73.2° E
Pekov in "Minerals first discovered on the terrritory of the former Soviet Union" has a map that fits the locality east of Karaganda.

First of all i want express to you my special thanks for quickness and knowledge you' ve transmitted.It was a great pleasure to me receive e-mail
beyond the Atlantic!
Sorry but i' ve some new questions:
In your opinion did the authors of the guide go to the quarry of Altyn Tube?
If negative answer then what' s the source of their assertions?
Do you know that there' re no less four places called Karaganda in Kazakh-
stan? (www.multimap.com)
Are you sure (100%) about coordinates of Karaganda? Where' ve you found
them?
To sum up what' re the lines regarding the famous site we can rely on and
why?
I'm again much obliged for your enlightenment!
P.Galland
P.S: By the way have you seen before the name "KARKARALINSK"
(Kazakhstan) on a document?

Another source of information is an article by Dan Weinrich in the February 1994 issue of Mineral News. He recounts his trip to the "mine". 50-70 km east of Karaganda they reached the village of Proletarskoe. From here it was another 10 km to reach the stream Altyn-Su and a small number of buildings. The quarry is a cut about 5m high and 30m long. He found some calcite with poor quality dioptase and malachite.
