A former underground Au-Ag mine located about 1½ miles SSW of the Button Mine. Started about 1902 by F.E. Harrington. Produced 1938-1945. Claims extend into the NYS½ of sec. 1 and into sec. 6 of T9N, R1W.
Mineralization is an East-West quartz vein with a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was minor. An associated rock unit is the Brady Butte Granodiorite.
Area structures include veins that crosscut or parallel foliation in the granodiorite, which trends N10E to N25E.
Workings include a 650 foot deep shaft and a total of over 2,500 feet of drifts. Yielded about $20 of Au/T (period values). A 20-stamp mill and cyanide plant were installed.
