TI!e Texas Lineament <<nfl, Its Eco>>ot>>ic Sigrtific nce in Southeast Arizona JhcQU>:s B. W>>RTz Abstract 1 With'ln b foad structural fran>e>vork construed in southeast Arizona, attempt is herc made to: (1) give further evidence on the location a>>d relative movements off thee roughly parallel components to the Texas lincai>>ent, (2) analyze thc structura setting of the major fracture centers, mainly the mi>>cralized ones that occur inside or out of the lineainent belt, and to (3) bring out thc apparent cconon>ic significance of t!iis i>>iporta>>t structural belt.
In this area, the componc>>ts or stra<>ds of <lie Texas lineament appear to have been broken, thereby following slightly differing dircctio>>s (SSOE to S75E in the eastward direction) suggesting a mild, irregular bc>>d davit!>in the xvhole belt, xvith a slight con-t t th o th ast Those places tv!>crc >hc su<<c<<ssivc changes in'irection occur, generally coincide with intersections of tlic>>orth->>orthwcstern fractures, a t oug some>>or>lieastcrn ones also join these sai>>c cc>>ters.
