A former underground Cu-Ag-Au mine located about 1 mile NW of Cherry. Discovered 1896. Produced 1930-1937.
Mineralization is veins that pinch & swell to a maximum of 7 feet wide and contain lenses of quartz. It strikes N.15E. and dips 45ºW. Ore control was faulting. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. No alteration was noted. An associated rock unit is the Cherry Quartz Diorite (informal name).
Workings include a 660 foot deep incline and several 100 foot shallower workings.
