Early 20th century mine on the Fairview vein. The report of stibnite and Jamesonite by Bain (1905) indicated that the specimens were not seen by him and of doubtful occurrence. Vein is 6-30 feet in width.
Deposit: On original entry,the following data were record distance to last point of common carrier- 1 kilometer, distant adequate water supply- 0 kilometers, distance to power suppl kilometer. Record 151/ original data lists washing and flotation as being concetration methods. 60 percent of fluorspar is washed with 27 percent recovery. 99 percent of the ores are processed by flotation recovery being 38 percent for fluorspar, and 99 percent for lead and zinc. 47.4 percent millfeed shipped as concentrate
