Abstract

The range covers about 3000 sq. miles of south-central New Mexico around the town of Alamogordo. Barite is reported at 14 localities within the range, all the occurrences being of the hydrothermal type. The occurrences in the Bear Canyon and Salinas Park areas are of some interest, being similar to deposits being exploited elsewhere in the state. The deposits are not, however, open to exploitation.<br />The range covers about 3000 sq. miles of south-central New Mexico around the town of Alamogordo.
