A former W occurrence/mine located in secs. 14, 15, 22 & 23, T22S, R33E, MDM, 1.3 km (0.8 mile) SE of Sherman Peak (coordinates of record), on National Forest land. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
Local rocks include Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges) and/or pre-Cenozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks undivided.
Workings include unspecified underground openings.
Production data are found in: Goodwin, Joseph Grant (1958).
This mine has been a "consistent source of tungsten concentrates since 1947." The MRDS reporter has judged the statement to infer production-but it is not all very clear to that reporter, if this mine did indeed produce.
