Comments on the geologic information

  • Geologic Description = A large body of mineralized quartz was explored by an open cut and a 12-foot inclined shaft (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). The quartz vein trends north and dips 45 degrees east. Near a nearby pinnacle, more or less lens-shaped masses of quartz, some over 6 feet in diameter, are exposed in a zone oriented north-south (Smith, 1913 [B 525, p. 197]). Smith described this quartz as compact, little shattered, glassy, and not very promising.
