A former limestone-Al-baryte-Fe-Mn occurrence/mine located in the E½ sec. 35 & in the center W½ sec. 36, T9S, R20E SBM, 5.2 km (3.3 miles) WNW of Palo Verde Peak (coordinates of record), in the central Palo Verde Mountains, on Bureau of Land Management administered land (federal lease). Discovered in 1917. First operated in 1918. Operated by W.D. Scott, J. Cornwall and B. Williams, Blythe, California (1975). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 100 meters.
The ore body strikes N50E and dips 65S at a thickness of 2 meters, depth-to-top of 10 meters, width of 10 meters and a length of 150 meters. Ore body No. 1 is tabular & breccia fill. Ore body No. 2 is irregular in a shear zone. The primary mode of origin was hydrothermal activity and the secondary mode was oxidation. Primary ore control was faulting and the secondary was fracturing. Wallrock alteration is moderate (bleaching). Local rocks include Tertiary volcanic flow rocks, unit 15 (Southern Mojave Desert).
Workings include unspecified surface and underground openings.
