The White King mine is in sec. 30, T. 37 S., R. 19 E., Willamette Base and Meridian, in the southern Fremont Mountains.
The mine is approximately 20 miles (ca. 32 km) northwest of Lakeview and is readily accessible by graded graveled roads.
The property consists of 16 claims: White King Nos. 00, 0, and 1 through 14; and a 40-acre patented tract.
The patented tract is along the northwestern end of a swampy mountain meadow on Augur Creek at an elevation of 6,400 feet (ca. 2 km).
