Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Parker Brothers (1904), Bonanza (1906)


Structure: Wichita Mountains Quanah Granite Intrusive

Tectonics: Aulacogen

Deposit: Snider (1912, p. 95) mentioned that the mine was visited and that it had malachite stains. However, there is no accurate location other than about 5 mi w. Of the Starley mine. I will assume it is the bonanza mine and also the parker brothers mine, but all of these could be different.

Development: The parker brothers were at 56 ft in 1904 and intended to go to 125 ft. Cook built a smelter in 1906, down into fawn creek canyon.

Geology: GILBERT (1982, P. 131, FIG. 137) SHOWS GEOLOGY OF SECS. 17-18-19-20-3N-14W, WITH QUANAH GRANITE IN SEC. 19.
