Report: Quote from Winchell's (1914) Mining Districts of the Dillon Quadrangle, Montana ...... "On the Fairview claim on Barber Gulch the monzonite is cut by numerous aplite dikes, and is in contact with quartzite which contains layers of curiously spotted brownish red and gray, apparently by unequal distribution of iron oxide. Other layers close at hand consist of a dense gray quartzite, filled with numerous small rudely ellipsoidal openings which average about 0.5 millimeter in diameter and lie in all positions. Some of them are partly filled by a pale-greenish mineral which weathers brownish. These quartzites are strikingly similar to the Weber quartzite of the Pennsylvanian of Utah, and seem to represent the same horizon. They probably belong to the Quadrant formation."
