The bed covers an irregular elliptical area extending 300 feet north, up-channel, about 150 feet wide. The limonite partly replaces fine-grained clastic rocks of the san andres formation along bedding planes. The rocks strike N 15 W and dip 7 w.
Development: The mine was being held under the san jose claim in 1943 but kelley (1949, p. 195) does not give an owner's name.
