"The Denver Post reported 'Assays taken of the ore showed values running to $2,000 per ton"

"Geologists were amazed to discover the ore was nestled in layers of sandstone 'Iron riddled with native gold'. Gold from the Red Arrow Mine was reportedly so pure it was shipped directly to the Denver Mint."

"Up a stream branching off Mancos Creek, the miners were able to find traces of gold flashes in their pans, but it was 'slim pickens', Ray Starr said in 1965. Then he followed the stream up another 300 feet. That's where he reportedly found a red arrowhead near a chunk of rock with gold attached to it. The Starr clan traced the vein for two weeks, staking out 16 claims to the mine. They reportedly raked in $6,000 in a single day ( over 171 ounces worth over $200,000 today) One nugget was reportedly 5 inches by 5 inches and shaped like the United States. It weighed close to 50 ounces. The largest nugget they found reportedly weighed more than 5 pounds!"
