Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Alice occurrence
An U occurrence located in the SE¼SE¼ sec. 24, T7S, R2E, BHM, on National Forest land.
The discovery pit exposes a 3 to 5-foot vertical thickness of carnotite ore. This occurrence is almost a duplicate of that in the Dagmar claim. The ore can be traced for about 40 feet along the strike and may extend farther. No samples have been taken from the Alice claim, but the ore is probably equivalent in grade to ore from the Dagmar
Local rocks include rocks of the Morrison Formation, Unkpapa Sandstone, Sundance Formation, and Gypsum Spring Formation.
Workings include surface openings comprised of a prospect pit.
