A prospect located 1¼ miles south of White House, near the middle of Madera canyon, at an elevation of 5,260 feet.
Mineralization is a 1 foot vein of iron-stained, drusy quartz containing copper carbonates and iron oxides, which also occur in the gouge on either wall. The country rock is coarse granite. The vein dips 70ºNNE. On its footwall side there is a 3 foot parallel dike of granite porphyry, between which and the vein, the granite is much shattered and iron-stained and is traversed by small stringers of quartz.
Workings include a 70 foot deep inclined shaft.
