10 lode claims staked in 1969 (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1979).
Location: The approximate location of this prospect, known in 1981 (Elliott and Koch, 1981, p. 7, loc. 6) only from a U.S. Bureau of Mines claims map (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1979), is in Section 24, at an elevation of about 1800 feet. It is on a hillside northeast of a southeast-flowing branch of upper White River. This location probably is accurate within about a half-mile.
Geology: The country rocks in the general area of this reported mineral occurrence are Mesozoic or Paleozoic paragneiss and orthogneiss and subordinate amphibolite and marble (Koch, 1996, 1997). No other information about this occurrence was publicly available in 1997 (Koch, 1997, p. 23).
