| Deposit | DEPOSIT HAS NEVER PRODUCED. |
| Deposit | "The northern segment can be traced norhtward, from the edge of the rimrock on the northeast flank of the anticline, for a distance of about 5,600 ft." [p. 91, Bull. 49] |
| Deposit | "The maximum thickness is about 16 feet, but the average is probably in the range of 10 to 12 feet. The trend of the long axis is N15W, and the strata containing the black sandstone strike about N25W and dip about 15NE." [p. 91, Bull. 49] |
