Igneous Rock

I found this report linked below that talks about igneous rock on the southeastern face of the Guadalupes. http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/gumo/215/sec2d.htm

Lost Sublett Mine

There are several publications that I know of that talk about the Sublett mine and the Guadalupes. Here are a couple: Coronados Children by Frank Dobie.  He wrote a whole chapter on "The secret of the Guadalupes" which is about the Sublett mine. Another writer W.C. Jameson "Buried Treasures of Texas" wrote a chapter "The Trans-Pecos Desert". The Lost Sublett Mine. There are more but that's enough to get you going. Good Luck. Cliff

rock formations of the southeastern guadalupe mountains.

I have recently heard that igneous rocks were found around the southeastern portion of the Guadalupe Mountains.  Has anyone else heard of this, or can point me toward any kind of publication to this effect?  I can not stress the importance of this for any researcher of the Lost Sublett Mine.  The importance of course is that Gold deposits are found in igneous rocks.  This would lend greater credibility to the legend of the Lost Sublett Mine.

Lost Sublett Gold Mine in Texas

Hola amigo,
I can't join you for a search, but would like to ask a question - it sounds like you believe this mine is in Texas, rather than across the border in the Guadeloupes of New Mexico? I don't know where the mine is but suspect that it might be in NM but very close to the Texas border. I would appreciate your opinion, thank you in advance,
