A tungsten mine NW of Republic. It worked a contact metamorphic zone along the west side of a roof pendant and contains a considerable amount of low grade milling ore. Development includes a 120' westward trending adit, several shafts and numerous open cuts. It produced 10 tons of ore for mill test in 1951.
Tectonics: Eocene Felsic Rocks Intruded Pre-Tertiary Metamorphic Rocks Adjacent To The Toroda Creek Graben (Pearson, 1967, Geol. Map).

Deposit: Pre-tertiary metamorphic rocks including calc-silicate gneiss, mica schist, and carbonaceous quartzite host contact metamorphic deposits of the kelly camp mine. These rocks are a roof pendant in quartz monzonite and monzonite of the herron creek suite (pearson, 1967, geol. Map, p. 3; stoffel, 1990, geol. Map). ; info.src : 1 pub lit

Development: Econ.com: ten tons of ore were shipped for a mill test in 1951 (huntting, 1956, p. 344).

Ore(s): Mineralization Is In A Contact-Metamophic Zone Along The West Side Of A Small Foof Pendant. The Deposit Contains A Condiserable Amount Of Low-Grade Milling Ore (Huntting, 1956. P. 344).
