United States Department of the Interior, Geological Survey Bulletin 922-Q, 1941, ppgs. 508 & 509 : The hill northeast of the Aeroplane Mine, where the Tip Top Claims are located, is capped by a gently dipping tactite body. Although a few prospect holes and adits have been driven into it, no ore of commercial grade has been found. Low-grade scheelite occurs all along the contact, and there is a considerable tonnage that might average 0.1% WO3. Commercial ore bodies might be found here by extensive prospecting.
