DeMark (1980):
"The Red Cloud mining district, situated in the Gallinas Mountains of central New Mexico, is of considerable interest to micromineral collectors due to the occurrence of rare and colorful mineral species. Of particular interest are the Red Cloud fluorite and copper mines located in the center of the district."
"Mining for iron, copper and fluorite in the Red Cloud district has taken place sporadically from near the turn of the century until the late 1940's when mining operations ceased. From all available indications, the low reserves of ore in this district preclude any significant mining activity in the future."
