The USGS MRDS deposit ID #10102479 is apparently a corrupted file mixing data pertaining to the true locality of the same name in Maricopa County (a Cu vein deposit) (https://www.mindat.org/loc-40845.html) with data pertaining to an unknown occurrence/mine in Apache County. The name of this locality is unusual and the chances of it being duplicated are improbable, particularly since the data contained in the file addresses both a Cu deposit and a U-V deposit in an entirely different environment.
