Atungsten claim located N.57ºW. of Greenwood Peak. Owned by Angel Madril and Tony Levas (1940).

Mineralization is a vein of glassy quartz 1 to 1½ feet wide that strikes S.83ºW. and dips 60ºN. and is traceable intermittently for some 600 feet. Locally, at least, it strikes and dips conformably with the gneiss and has been offset by minor amounts of faulting. The wall rocks are strongly sericitized.

Workings include a shallow pit with a 30 foot long adit.
