:::::e:: ~~l:~::: c:~:~t'~:~l:~ ::Pl=./ Quijotoa, .:u"izona. V Insyection of ' Gold. Strike.

This ' ins1jection 'was made at the instance of E. B:. 3spey who brought to this office sara-ples of ver"] ricll gold ore and vTislled en e:cpression from this De})artment a .s to the importance of this stl"ike. ' The tri:? iN8.S made ~,:ay 8:, 1940.

l:O. CLAJJ'jIS~ One unpatented lode claim, n8Ji1e Gold 3agle ITo 1, located A:pril 25, 1940.

J:'OPOG. & GEOG. - Vein outCl"OPS in shallow gulch on l~. E. face, high on central bacl( bone of main l-iui .1 otoa mountain. 'Stee:p sloPes.

DE'VB;LOPlvIENT- A shallow discovery shaft from a :?revious location about 50 ft. llislIer "7J_:9

hill. Side hill cut is 15 ft. long exposing vein VJhich strikes north­'t',festerly into hill. Ea.."'(imum depth-3 ft.

GEOLOITf &, Iiill\fERALIZATION- Country rock , granite 8,nd grani ti'c pOr:Phy~r, altered be­yond identification at the surface in vicinity of the outcro~. Vein has quartz fill­ing with considerable amounts of galena and oxidized lead minerals. Width of vein about one foot. The high grade gold is found on the h8.l1ging 'wall side of vein where the vein enters the hill. The streal( is about 4: inches wide and the gold occurs in seams in this loose, open, iron-stained streal:. It is rather coarse and is asso­ciated with quartz, lead minerals, hem<ltite and the decomposed ledge material. The gold shatters badly when handled, and :~16. 00 was rec overed in d~J washer from the dust when the ore was struck.

The strike of the vein is north-westerly and aP:gears to dip steeply to the north-east. Walls are well marked 10' to 15 t back from the gold showing, 't'J'here quartz (bearing galena) is more prominent, but at the gold exposure the walls have an a'Ppe~­ance suggesting intersection by another 'Tein o If this should be the case, the denosit vIill likely take the form. of a chirlmey wi til the most intense enricl1..ment at the inter­section, though values may continue in the cross vein.

The shallow de:pth-less than 3 ft. belov! the surface-and the ad:vancEdr weather­ing of the rocks make it extremely diffiC111t to interpr9t conditi<?.D.s.

Two sa'1lples taken by thEO ov;:p.¢'i'and assa:iedt/:· ii. A~ J,Ic~bs showed:

High Grade Ore Lead Silver Ore

Oz ~J..d!(' Oz~~1.Y..£r ;; ~d VV Total Value 977.4 ;j34,209.00 per ton.

.01 26.0 46.1

The fact that the lead ore slj.ows a gold content of only 351 compared with ~~34,209 a few feet distant in the sarrre vein su:pports the hypothesis of a cross-vein being the source of the gold~

This discovery is interesting in having been made by tracing placer gold up the canyon from the flats below. Nuggets as 12.rge as 1/2 oz "liTere found low in the canyon, but beC3.l11e finer as the vein source v-ras neared. There is no question as to the strike being genuine. The importrult Question of magnitude can only be ans­wered by development. -
