| Blue Rock Mine

Blue Rock Mine. | I met Bill Brown, owner of the Blue Rock Mine in Macedonia Canyon, one afternoon in about 1985. He told me the Blue Rock Mine was his, and that he mined "pods" of scheelite (tungsten ore) even though there was substantial copper mineralization on his property. He also said he lived in Los Angeles, and drove out to his mine on the weekends. He kept his trailer and "jeep" at the Cima Store. I haven't seen Bill since, the roof is torn off of his cabin, and the trailer at Cima Store looks to be abandoned.

Sketch map: 1987. | This is my field sketch map of the surficial geology in the vicinity of the Golden Quail Mine. sch - schist. pE - metasandstone and metaconglomerate, possibly Precambrian and correlative with the Precambrian schist and gneiss found elsewhere in the Mid Hills, not mentioned by Hewett (1956). ls - limestone, probably Goodsprings dolomite. hb - highly sheared greenish rock, probably the Cedar Canyon fault zone. gr - granite. Tv - Tertiary volcanics, probably Peach Springs Tuff or Hole-in-the-Wall Tuff.

Mine shaft: 1981. | This is the shaft that Hewett (1956) notes is 250 feet deep. Kate, Scott, Matt and Linda are looking at the owl chicks in a nest about 6 feet down the shaft. The shaft is gone now as the current operators of the Golden Quail mine have dug an open pit about 30 feet deep. The stake in the right foreground marked a bore from which cores had recently been taken. None of the cores were left at the mine location.

Prospect trenches at the Silver Buddy Mine. | These horrible gashes were made in the hillside by the miners when they were prospecting at the Silver Buddy Mine. They were probably made by a caterpillar tractor in a few hours, but will require many more years to heal.

Aerial photograph of prospect trenches at the Silver Buddy Mine. | The Silver Buddy Mine is west of Wild Horse Canyon Road. Apparently while prospecting, the former mine operators dug four deep trenches in the hill side. These trenches are clearly visible in this aerial photograph and when on the ground. The scars may never heal within a human lifetime.

| Silverado-Tungstite claims
| 
Silverado-Tungstite claims | Photograph taken 24 April 2005. Silver was shipped from the Silverado Claim before 1900. The Tungstite skarn is along a dolomite/granite contact containing epidote, garnet, and scheelite (calcium tungstate); it was prospected intil 1951. The four rock ruins were apparently housing and an assay building. Also nearby is rockwork probably associated with an old regional freight road.

| Standard No. 1 Mine Camp
| 
View of the Standard No. 1 Mine Camp. | Photograph taken 24 April 2005. The Excelsior was located in 1896 and produced copper with gold and silver between 1902 and 1908 from a skarn that contained magnetite, chalcopyrite, and scheelite. Before 1905, ore from the Standard No. 1 was hauled by wagon to a smelter at Needles. Rail service was established to Cima in 1905, and ore was then hauled by 16-horse-team wagons to rail cars bound for smelters in Salt Lake, Utah.
