Subject category Comment text
Deposit ORE BODY IS ABOUT 1.5 FT THICK, 70 FT LONG, AND 30 FT WIDE. IT IS IN RED LIMESTONE ABOUT 1 FT FROM ITS CONTACT WITH PILLOW BASALT. OTHER SMALL MASSES OF MANGANIFEROUS ROCK HAVE BEEN UNCOVERED IN PITS ALONG COPPER CREEK TO THE SOUTHWEST. THEY ARE ON THE STRIKE OF THE MAIN BODY, BUT CONTINUITY HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. ORE BODY GRADES INTO LIMESTONE TO SOUTHWEST
