This mine is located on Gladstone Mountain. It was geologically similar to the Electric Point Mine. The ore occurred in oxidized chimneys in dolomite of the Kootenay Arc. It produced ore every year from 1901-1955 except 1945-1946. Mills (1977) reported a production of around 15,583,000 lbs Pb, 44,000 lbs Zn, and 9,000 oz Ag
Structure: Several Steeply Dipping Faults Strike Nne
Alteration: Oxidized To The Lowest Level Explored
