Comments on the location information

  • ELEVATION OF LOC. A IS GIVEN ABOVE; ELEVATION OF LOC. B IS 1500 FT. RIDDLE (MAY 1936, SHEET 158) GIVES LOCATIONS, MENTIONING THAT THESE WERE 15-20 FT DEEP AND WERE DUG FOR COPPER AND OTHER MINERALS. CHASE (1950B), STOCKTON (1984), AND POWELL (1986) MAPPED THE GEOLOGY. BOTH PROSPECTS ARE IN THE POST OAK CONGLOMERATE. LOC. A MIGHT BE IN ZONE K OF GLEN MOUNTAINS LAYERED COMPLEX, POSSIBLY BELOW TEPEE CREEK CONGLOMERATE. LOC. B WOULD PROBABLY BE IN ZONE L OF GLEN MOUNTAINS LAYERED COMPLEX.
