Report: Quote from E.C. Patee, 1960......"On the Mammoth claim an adit has been driven into a tactite bed for 53 feet into the hillside. The bed is 9 feet thick, strikes N. 25 W. with a dip of 24 to the northeast, and is a few feet above the quartz-monzonite contact. The outcrop extends 130 feet west of the adit, and broken tactite is uncovered 270 feet farther west on the projected strike. It is covered to the east except for two small exposures less than 300 feet away. Two 9-foot chip samples taken 12 feet and 102 feet west of the adit assayed 0.122 and 0.26 percent WO3, repectively." The adit was not located during this study but DeBoer (1991) shows it on his general location map as uphill and to the east approximately 1200 feet from the Garnet adit. It is unknown if it is still open or not.
