Comments
Comment (Location): THIS LOCATION HAS BEEN CALLED THE SAGE HEN, BUT QUADE DOES NOT THINK IT FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SAGE HEN, WHICH HE PLACES FARTHER WEST . INFO FROM LAND.ST :(1972)
Comment (Development): INACTIVE IN 1985 WHEN EXAMINED.
Comment (Deposit): MOST OF THE WORKINGS ARE ON QUARTZ VEINS IN SHEARS WITHIN PHYLLITE-SCHIST IN AN AREA SURROUNDED BY TERTIARY SEDIMENTS. WORKINGS ARE 0.25-0.5 MILE FROM THE RANGE FRONT ON A FAN. MOST OF THE WORKINGS BEAR N 25 W AND DIP CLOSE TO 70 E.
