Comments

Comment (Location): ON WEST FLANK OF ROSEBUD PEAK

Comment (Geology): GOLD OCCURS AS FLAT NUGGETS-RANGING FROM A FEW CENTS TO A FEW DOLLARS IN WEIGHT VALUE

Comment (Deposit): DEPOSIT IS IN A LARGE ALLUVIAL FAN EXTENDING WESTWARD FROM ROSEBUD PEAK. THE FAN CONSISTS OF BOTH ANGULAR AND ROUNDED ROCK FRAGMENTS INCLUDING RHYOLITE, ANDESITE, QUARTZ, SILICIFIED FAULT BRECCIA, AND PHYLLITE. THE GRAVELS OVERLIE A CLAY LAYER WHICH UNDERLIES THE ENTIRE PLACER AREA AND FORMS A FALSE BEDROCK HORIZON SEPARATING GOLD-BEARING GRAVELS FROM UNDERLYING BARREN GRAVELS. MOST OF THE PLACER MINING ACTIVITY WAS CONCENTRATED IN GULLIES THAT DISSECT THE FAN. ; INFO.SRC : 1 PUB LIT
