Index map of barite deposits near Barstow, San Bernardino County, California [From General Statement, pg 3] The material in this report was compiled from field studies made of barite deposits during the latter part of World War II. The work was done as a part of the Strategic Minerals Investigations carried on by the U. S. Geological Survey. No prior reports on the deposits have been published; however, all the deposits are briefly referred to in mineral resource reports of the California Division of Mines. Four localities are described in this report: the Ball barite deposit, barite veins in the vicinity of the Barium Queen mine, the Hansen barite deposit, and barite deposits at the Lead Mountain mine and vicinity. These deposits have been grouped together in one report because all are in the vicinity of Barstow, California, and, with the exception of the Hansen deposit, within a few miles of one another; all are vein deposits; and the pattern of future exploration and mining would be similar for each deposit. The individual deposits have been treated separately in this report, as each is unique in structural, stratigraphic, and mineralogic relationships and each has been exploited to a different degree. The writer wishes to acknowledge the courtesies shown him by the owners of the properties. A. C. Daley ably assisted in the field and in the preparation of the illustrations.
