Location: Lincoln County, south-central part; approximately 2.6 miles S50E from Woodlawn, approximately 1.05 miles north of latitude 30° 40', and 0.3 mile east of longitude 82° 25'.

A small cluster of shallow prospect trenches and pits is centered a round a shaft approximately 15 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep, slumped and partially filled with water.

The country rock is phyllite and a fine- to medium-grained feldspathic metavolcanic, like that at the Paschal Mine. The wall rock on the dump shows fracturing and brecciation; small-scale movement is indicated by slickensides. Quartz fills most of the fractures, although calcite is not uncommon.

Scattered pieces of ore on the dump carry pyrite, galena, and chalcopyrite. A grab sample of ore picked from the dump assayed $89.25/ton.
