A Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn mine located in the NE ¼ & center of sec. 34, T4S, R18W (protracted). Owned at times, or in part, by the Big Eye Mining Co., Big Eye Mining & Milling Co., Ketcherside, Grover, Crowder & Green, and Hudson.
Mineralization is spotty gold and silver values, with minor, largely oxidized base metals in narrow, lenticular, shallow ore shoots of brecciated quartz with stringers of crystalline and manganiferous calcite, in a brecciated fault zone cutting steeply-dipping, kaolinized and chloritized Cretaceous andesite flows, intruded by a rhyolite porphyry dike and apparently faulted against badly shattered Mesozoic quartzite. A relatively small outcrop of intrusive Laramide syenite lies along the strike of the zone and probably underlies the volcanics in a much wider area.
