A former underground Au-Ag-Cu mine located in the SE¼ sec. 19, T.23S., R.11E, on National Forest land. Tully; Gzowski; Grasman; and, Cox had unspecified involvement (1975). Mr. Norman J. Lunde had unspecified involvement here (1976).
Mineralization is an irregular and lensing fissure zone of brecciated Jurassic tuff cemented by finely crystalline quartz containing fine-grained gold, silver and copper minerals and argillitic alteration.
Workings include shaft operations. Probably prospected in the past but worked mainly from 1933 through 1940. It produced some 250 tons of ore averaging about 0.8 oz. Au/T, 7 oz. Ag/T and minor copper.
