From "Mines and Prospects of the Andrews Mountain, Mazourka, and Paiute Roadless Areas, Inyo County, California," U.S. Geological Survey, 1987, by Steven W. Schmauch:
Summary: An altered, silicified zone along a quartz monzonite-hornfels contact strikes N. 45° W. and dips 45° SW. The 4-foot-thick zone contains veins and pods of vuggy limestone-stained quartz for 60 feet along strike and at least 150 feet downdip.
Workings: A 10-feet-diameter shaft is 45 feet deep with 110 feet of accesible 45°-inclined drift. Other workings include an 8-foot-deep pit and 15 shallow short bulldozer cuts.
