Mr . Del Peterson phoned about copper in a diatreme near Perkinsville. He has the old United States Mine with copper at the base of the Supai formaion. Wonders if Redwall below couldn't be mineralized. JHS. WR 9/5/69

Del Peterson came in to give information on the United States mine; which he says has a fairly large IP Anomaly. He has drilled 6 wagon-drill holes ± 200 ft. deep into the cherty Redwa11 limestone. He says the Cu mineralization in the lower Supai formation is at least 40 ft. thick and assays 1-1~% Cu. He has sold 6 carloads of converter flux. GW WR 8-2-71
