Description:
This Arizona Department of Mineral Resources publication describes fluorspar
deposits in Arizona, history and production, types of deposits, grade specifications
and marketing conditions. Total production of Arizona fluorspar from 1902-70 is
estimated at 33,900 tons valued at $ 980,000. This report is possible through the
efforts of Mr. E. A. Elevatorski. The wording, geology, interpretation and analyses
are his.
Described herein are 96 fluorspar mines, prospects, and occurrences. During
the period, 1966 thru 1970, E. A. Elevatorski visited and examined 56 of the properties.
Where possible, all properties are located on maps, according to section, township
and range. Considerable effort was made to describe routes of access to each property
so that they can be visited with a minimum of effort.
