Deposit: Ore "is making into" limestone from the hanging wall of a fissure 40 ft wide, and varies from 1-2 ft thick. Weed states that main vein traversing property has a n-5 strike, dips e. Mineralization is not persistent.

Development: Largest production prior to 1907. 9 claims, 7 patented. In 1918, company planned diamond drilling from the 500 ft level to test the ore zone along yuba dike, at greater depth. Property closed down in 1922 high-grade urf found on 125-ft level in 1909, but only in small quantity. Had 10 men working on development in 1915, during which time some ore was extracted.
