A former underground Cu-Ag-Zn-Pb-Au mine located at the foot of Wasson Peak, Poland Creek slope, South of Crown King. First produced 1918, reopened in 1922 and closed 1923. Owned by J.J. McNeil & Mrs. Reid (1922).
Mineralization is a vein deposit that strikes N.18ºE. & dips steeply West in a small fissure, 2 to 3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) wide with a pay streak about 6 inches (15 cm) wide. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation of near surface ores. No alteration noted. An associated rock unit is the Crown King Granodiorite (informal name) and rhyolite dikes.
Workings include a short tunnel. Produced at least $18 in Au/T & 180 oz. Ag/T.
