The second class, a quartzy lead ore with little tetrahedrite, averaged eighty- oue ounces to the ton. Digitized by Google I Mineralogical Sketch of Arizona. I7i Cahuabi Mi7ies. — Westward of the Baboquiveri range, on the outskirts of the desert, in a (jountry clothed with only bushy mesquit and cacti, and almost destitute of water, there exists a region which, from the character of its veins, appears to contain greater mineral wealth than any other part of Arizona yet explored. It is situated ...in the centre of a large plain, forming part of the Papagoria, and about eighty miles by trail northwest of Tubac. The veins which I observed occur in a quartziferous porphyry and in an amygdaloid rock. This latter has a brown compact base, containing numerous acicular crys- tals of triclinic feldspar, and calcareous spar in impreg- nations and small threads. Cavities, some filled with quartz and others with Delessite, are frequent. In this formation is the Cahuabi vein. It is from twelve to fif- teen inches thick, and consists of quartz and heavy spar, containing argentiferous copper glance, galena and black tetrahedrite.
