‡Ref.: Jones, E.L., Jr. & F.L. Ransome (1920), Deposits of manganese ore in Arizona, USGS Bull. 710-D: 156.
A group of 5 manganese claims in the northern part of the field. Owned by Frank Tursick, Jack H. Smith, Frank Seibert, R.E. Donaldson, and S.A. Brown.
The claims lie in low hills and across a wide detritus-filled wash. At three points discovery holes disclosed small bodies of manganese minerals. Two of these bodies are in a poorly defined zone of shearing in volcanic breccia and show masses of material, some 2 feet (60 cm) in diameter, composed of granular pyrolusite, which replaces reddish breccia that contains abundant brown carbonate crystals. At another point a hole was dug through the detritus into tuff with associated black siliceous material resembling chert. Hewre the tuff is replaced by manganese oxides in a layer 6 inches (15 cm) thick.
