Report: Unpatented claims are located in sections 14, 15 and 23, T. 1 S., R. 10 W. with the main quarry in section 14. The BLM 1:100,000 map shows this area as Forest Service. There is also a grated "well" approximately 20 feet deep, that looks like it was designed as a roaster or some other function. The grate is not by the DSL-AMRB, and some bolts have been removed. Highwalls are near vertical, but are only 20 to 30 feet high with loose rocks. One, iron lime "kiln" remains. Access to the site is good with a road to it.
