Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Smokey Bullion Mine; Bruce Creek Mine; A&C Mine
A mine north of Clugston Creek. The ore occurred in limestone near a contact with granite. It was developed by a 220' and 110' adit. Around 100 tons of ore was produced. Mills (1977) reports production of 9,000 lbs Pb, 17,00 lbs Zn, and 31 oz Ag
Note: There is some confusion with the metals at this mine. Huntting (1956) and Weaver (1920) list this mine as being primarily a copper mine while Mills (1977) does not list copper but says the mine has considerable lead and zinc. From looking at the workings, it appears that there are two sets of workings at the mine, one on a replacement zone in the limestone and the other on a skarn near the contact with granite.
