The works are caved in andinaccessible. The surface geology shows that the deposits inthe Reed mine are located close to the line of contact of anarea of serpentine with unaltered fossiliferous rocks, the orebodies being contained in an opaline rock formation. The oldworks of the Royal mine are located on a dike of the samematerial, 20 feet wide, cutting through the Cropptngs MAP OF THE LITTLE PANOCHE MINING DISTRICT. DISTRICTS SOUTH OF SAN FRANQSCO.
