A former lode Au-Ag-Pb mine located in the SW¼ sec. 11 & in the NW¼ sec. 14, T2N, R13E, MDM, 1.1 km (0.7 mile) NW of Carson Hill (town), along Carson Creek, S of Carson Flat (2½ miles S of Angels Camp). MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated.
Mineralization is a vein & pocket deposit hosted in schist, slate and phyllite. The ore body strikes N47W and dips 45NE. The vein is several feet thick with a hanging wall of fine-grained chlorite-sericite schist and a footwall of slate and phyllite. There are high-grade pockets. This ore has more Pb & Ag than usual for the Mother ode. Sulfides are abundant. Local rocks include Undivided pre-Cenozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 2 (undivided).
Workings include underground openings with an overall depth of 60.96 meters and comprised of an 800 foot inclined shaft.
Production data are found in: Goodwin, Joseph Grant (1957).
Small tonnages were crushed at irregular intervals, in addition to pocket ore.
