The Fox
mine, once know as the Cortez, has been one of the largest
producing mines in Nevada for almost a century. An official
notice of location on the property under the name of
“Fox Lode Mining Claim” was filed in 1914
though the deposit had been known for years before to
the Indians of the area. Fox turquoise is quite hard
and of a blue to greenish color.
