A former Au prospect and stone deposit/operation located in the SE¼SW¼ sec. 34, T3N, R13E, MDM, 0.6 km (0.4 mile) ESE of Angels camp proper. MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated. 4 men employed in 1925.
Green amphibolite schist, locally called greenstone, was mined from the 200 foot level of the Tryon Mine. Local rocks include undivided pre-Cenozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 2 (undivided).
The products are stucco dash, passing 3-mesh and retained on 4-mesh; roofing rock, passing ½ inch, retained on 4-mesh; roofing granules, running about 25% of 14-mesh, 50% of 20-mesh and 25% of 40 mesh. A large part of the final product is too fine for the above uses, and the finding of a market for it was a problem.
