. Published in 1957, this is a scarce report on this geologically interesting deposit in the Colorado Plateau. This 15-page book discusses in detail the distribution of vanadium and uranium in this unusual deposit
. This mine is know for quite a number of uncommon minerals. Look at this list from Mindat.org:

Carnotite
Chalcopyrite

)

List provided to show the diversity of the deposit. Not all minerals are mentioned in the text.
Type locality means this is where that mineral was first discovered and described! This is one of the lesser known deposits of the region, but it is a standout, both for its minerals and the interesting zonation within the deposit.
As such this provides a unique geologic perspective that few other reports do.
