A former underground Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn mine located in South-central sec. 10, T.21S., R.15E, on National Forest land. Owned at times, or in part, by Blabon; and, Bradsher.
Mineralization is a lensing quartz-fissure vein containing spotty sulfides with a calcite-barite-quartz gangue. Wall rocks are altered Triassic and Cretaceous volcanics intruded by Laramide dikes.
Workings include adit operations. Worked mainly from 1933 through 1942. It produced some 280 tons of ore averaging about 12% Pb, 6% Cu, 13 oz. Ag/T and minor Au.
