A Cu-Ag-Pb-Fe occurrence/mine group located in T3N, R16W. Owned at times, or in part, by Carr; Marshall; Brewer; and Hovatter.
Mineralization is oxidized copper mineralization with limonite in joints, fractures, and local small, high-grade chimneys in epidotized porphyritic andesite and breccia along fault and shear zones.
Workings include a relatively shallow shaft and surface openings. Worked from 1941 through 1944. This group produced some 480 tons of ore, averaging about 3.7% Cu and 1 ounce (37.8 g) Ag/ton.
