A former surface and underground Cu-Ag-Au-Mo-Pyrite mine. Produced 1937-1949. Claims extend into S½ of sec. 17, SW¼SW¼ of sec. 16, and the NW¼ of sec. 21.

Mineralization is a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting, shearing and igneous activity (dikes). Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was minor to none.

Area structures include veins (and genetically-related [?]) dikes trend N10W to N40W and crosscut Precambrian fabric. Foliation in Precambrian schist and gneiss trends N25E to N65E.
