  <dc:description>The studies of fluorspar localities in Utah made by the U. S. Geological Survey during and since the recent war are summarized. The fluorspar at the &#13;
Cougar Spar and Blue Bell mines in the Indian Peak Range of western Beaver &#13;
County occurs as fissure veins in fault and breccia zones in volcanic and intrusive rocks. At the Monarch (Staats) claims in west-central Beaver County &#13;
fluorspar was mined chiefly from a fault between limestone and rhyolite &#13;
porphyry. The Thomas Range district in Juab County has yielded sizeable &#13;
tonnages of fluorspar from pipes in faulted dolomite and rhyolite porphyry. &#13;
From 1918 to 1924 the Silver Queen mine in Tooele County produced fluorspar &#13;
from flssure veins in faulted limestone. &#13;
&#13;
The report describes the geology of producing mines and the various prospects &#13;
examined. Production and reserves of fluorspar for Utah are summarized.</dc:description>
