A little research on Mindat.org showed that wavellite is also known from Flat Top mountain. Who knows what other minerals have been overlooked in these mines! Sounds like an interesting area!
This is a scarce publication on an important and productive historic mining district, and this report ust might lead you to some cool minerals!
Expert packing assured.
