Subject: 1'1ine Visit Hith DonaTd ~lcCarthy, Consulting Lngineer 12/17/63, and Conference with R. 3. 'Rodney.

PROPE;RTY : 12 Claims . -----LOCATION: S ? ortion of Sees 9-10, lapping over into Sees 15-16, T3S, R7E. -----O,\·iNER: Re?ortec1 by R. B. 'Rodne~l to be large.Jy QI.'l11E'.d by 'V irgil Vance, Virgil Vance Farms, Queen Creek, Ariz. (PH 988-2710). Efforts to contact Mr. Vance so far have fai Ie.d.

."" ~ORK: The Goldmine Mountain ~rest is interrupted by a narrow saddle, (apparent along a fault). A few hundred feet west of the saddle, on the north slope, 3 adits in a 300-foot vertical sequence from the crest dm ... 7flwarc1, range from 200 to 1100 feet long. Across the wash, that rises in the saddle, 200-300 feet east of the saddle, is another adit, near the crest. Judging from the dump, this adit is fairly long. Two of the three main adits have drifts branching each way along the vein strike. Some short adits and pits also lie on the east side of the mountain. Production of some gold ore is said to have occurred at one time, but the amount and grade of this is not kno-wn.

GEOLOGY: The "South" or '~iain" vein crosses the crest of ~Jest Goldmine Hountain, west of the sadd Ie, and gener~lly trends 1T£-SW. After cross ing through the sadd Ie, the vein, structure continues Northeastward for se~.reral hundreds of feet. To the SH it has nearly 1000 feet of outcrop crossing into Carter ground. It vaies from a few feet to over 10 feet 't.J'ide and consists of massive ~vhite, sugary quartz that is locally vuggy and has been shattered. Limonite, derived mainly from pyrite, is held 'i.J'ithin the fracture and vugs, and has a "live!! color (or lustre). The schist, that comprises the bulk of the Goldmine Mountain, trends ET1 to SE-Nvl locally and dips variably. It is locally folded and the laminae are fairly wide in spacing. "BuIll! quartz that occupies the laminae is also folded conforming to the laminae. The "South" Vein and the roughly parallel "North" 'Vein (~-5/S mile north of the "South Vein) are mostly obliquely transve:-se to the schist trend, by a small angle. The "South" Vein is terminated on the east against a strong fault that forms the saddle and ~anyons both N & S of the saddle. The extension east of the fault was hunted for, by McCarthy, but yJ'as not located because of stream debris cover. T.Jest of the faul t the "North" Vein Has intermittently traceable for 300, or more/feet to where it becomes hidden under a soil mantle. R. B. Rodney state.s that this vein is on one of the Carter Group Claims. No assays are knmm on this vein" The "South" Vein ore was reputedly good in certain shoots.

PRODUCTION: R. B. Rodney states that some ore Has e~:tracted and this contained gold and some copper.
