A lithium-niobium/tantalum-tin muscovite mine in pegmatite. Started in 1883. Owned by the Harney Peak Tin Co. This mine is famous for its huge spodumene crystals. Roberts & Rapp (1965), citing Hess (1911), describe a crystal approximately 42 feet long and 3 x 6 feet in cross-section (13 x 0.9 x 1.8 m) that weighed 90 tons (82 T) and yielded 37 tons (34 T) of ore.

Originally exploited for muscovite in 1883, but acquired by the Harney Peak Tin Mining Company. Tin was never encountered in economic concentrations and the company collapsed by 1893 in "The Black Hills Tin Scandal".

Lithium (spodumene) mining commenced in 1898 and ceased in 1959. Over the years, the mine produced muscovite, niobium, tantalum, beryl and feldspar.
