A former underground Au-Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-As mine located about 2 miles SW of Turkey Creek Station. Reopened in 1923 and owned by Grove Brothers of Mayer. Produced 1902-1959. Claims extend into the E½SE¼SE¼ of sec. 27.
Mineralization is a peculiar flat vein, probably in granite, with a tabular ore body. It is about 2 feet wide and dips 30ºN. It is a filled quartz vein with comb structure. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Concentration was oxidation at near surface.
Workings include a 190 foot long incline with 250 feet of drifts on the 2nd. level. Ore assayed at 50% Zn & 1.5 oz. Au/T.
