20.66 Acre Unpatented Lode Mining Claim on Federal Land in the Rawhide/Cleopatra District, Mohave County, Arizona

This historic mine in the Rawhide Wash/Kimble Sub-District of the Cleopatra Mining District. This mine was a documented producer of Au, Ag, Cu and was reported to have stringers and chunks of good turquoise in small quantities. The large shaft on this mine is about 40 feet across is blocked at a depth of 16’. The remains of the timbering show where to work on re-opening it, and there are two adits reported at the 22’ level and the 28’ level. Both would take a little work to open, as decades of wind, rain and natural erosion have blocked them almost completely, but it would be worth exploring them, as they likely haven’t seen human eyes for more than several decades and appear to be cut in hard rock that is still solid.

Extremely high levels of Cu and Ti showing in the vein near the surface, but also showing 1/2 to 2/3rds of an ounce of Au and Ag. Good access by dirt road for just about any 2-wheel drive vehicle, however the last 150 feet is overgrown, so you would need to have good clearance and good tire tread in order to be able to pull right to the mine entrance.

Cleopatra District / Rawhide Mtn Wilderness Area

Introduction

The United States Congress designated the Rawhide Mountains Wilderness in 1990 and it now has a total of 38,470 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Arizona and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

Description

Just beyond Alamo Dam, the Bill Williams River cuts through this Wilderness, dividing two mountain ranges, the Rawhides to the north and the Buckskins to the south. For more than five miles the river traverses the colorful 600-foot-deep Bill Williams Gorge, a stretch of white water that attracts many river runners. Several small rocky side canyons join the river, their waters feeding into the main flow over low falls. The riparian habitat supports cottonwood and willow, and provides habitat for beavers, several species of raptors, amphibians, and reptiles. At least one pair of bald eagles nest here. The Rawhide Mountains are low, with elevations from 700 feet to 2,430 feet. Numerous outcroppings break the skyline, and several washes and canyons cut through the Rawhides. Mississippi Wash is probably the most notable, a winding canyon with several waterfalls. The Buckskin Mountains are higher and more scenically appealing, with elevations from 1,700 feet to 3,927 feet on Ives Peak, but they are less easily accessed. Blessed with year-round water, the area makes a fine choice for extended backpacking trips.

Area Management

The Rawhide Mountains Wilderness is part of the 109 million acre National Wilderness Preservation System. This System of lands provides clean air, water, and habitat critical for rare and endangered plants and animals. In wilderness, you can enjoy challenging recreational activities like hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, horse packing, bird watching, stargazing, and extraordinary opportunities for solitude. You play an important role in helping to "secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness" as called for by the Congress of the United States through the Wilderness Act of 1964. Please follow the requirements outlined below and use Leave No Trace techniques when visiting the Rawhide Mountains Wilderness to ensure protection of this unique area. Unless otherwise specified, no motorized equipment or mechanical transport, with the exception of wheelchairs, is allowed. This is generally true for all federal lands managed as designated wilderness.http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&WID=486). (info from this site)
