Produced 1937-1938. Operated by H.T. Cooper (1937); and by R. L. Oliver (1938).

The mine is situated N of the Mogul fault, within ¼ mile (upthrown side of the Mogul). his is a small deposit with mineralization probably related to Late Cretaceous-Tertiary intrusive period, most evident S of the Mogul Fault, S of the mine.
