Deposit: Deposit consists of three, zoned pegmatites trending east-west and plunging 40 to 55 degrees west. The largest pegmatite is the most extensively worked and is about 165 ft. Long, up to 18 ft. Thick, and has been exposed in workings to a depth of 78 ft... South of the main pegmatite are two, smaller pegmatites about 85 ft. Long and from 7 to 17 ft. Thick. The main pegmatite can be divided into six zones and most of the production came from the intermediate zones.
