A former small underground Cu-Ag mine located in sec. 32, T12S, R18E, 1 mile ESE of Piety Hill, on state land. Produced 1942. Owned by R.W. Nicholas and J.A. Jordan.
Mineralization is weak, mostly oxidized, in fracture zones along faults. It is unknown which rock type is host for this specific deposit. Alteration includes oxidation.
The Sango and Cobre mines are located nearby, have similar deposits with similar very small production, and are not locatable in the literature. The Korn Kob is also in the district. Mineralization here may involve pegmatite dikes (50-45 M.Y.) as seen near the Korn Kob.
Workings include underground operations that are assumed. Small shafts are known to exist throughout the district. Production was 20 tons of Cu ore at 0.9% Cu produced up to April 1982.
