Avalanchie No. 13
According to Lewis et al, "the Avalanchie No. 13, King Edward, and King James-Virgene mines comprise the property known as the Ransome mine, Sunshine Mining Co. The workings at the Avalanchie No. 13 consist of two adits and a connecting crosscut. Uranium ore at the Avalanchie No.13 appears to be confined to a relatively continuous bed of Chinle sandstone that immediately overlies sandstone and siltstone of the Moenkopi Formation and is overlain by massive Chinle mudstone."
