General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit BROWN ORE OUTCROPS IN A LEDGE OVERHANGING A SMALL SINK HOLE. THE ORE OCCURS AS LARGE MASSIVE BOULDERS AND RESTS DIRECTLY UPON THE GRANITE. ORE MAY BE IN A SINK HOLE BELOW THE OUTCROP. THE ORE IS SOMEWHAT SILICIOUS, DUE TO INCLUSIONS OF GRAINS OF SAND, BUT CONTAINS NOT CHERT.
