A Cu-Ag-Au mine group located in sec. 21, T.17S., R.16E.
Mineralization is sporadic and relatively weak copper carbonates and minor sulfides, pyrite, scheelite, and powellite in small, irregular pyrometasomatic deposits in Cretaceous brecciated conglomerates and faulted Paleozoic limestones in contact with dikes and stocks of Laramide quartz monzonite.
Workings in the group are shallow shafts and adits. Possibly some 100 tons of hand-picked copper ore averaging 3-5% Cu were produced prior to 1900 and 3 tons of 1%+ WO3 ore were produced in 1955.
