A W-Zn-Ag-Cu-Bi-Pb occurrence/mine located in the center S½ sec. 35, T40N, R30E, WM, at the head of Tungsten Creek. Originally located in 1908. The USGS MRDS database stated accuracy for this locality is 1,000 meters. NOTE: MRDS file erroneously states this mine located in R30W.
Mineralization is a polymetallic deposit comprised of low-dipping quartz veins from 1 to 24 inches (2.5 to 60 cm) wide in granite. Some veins were opened from 250 feet to 300 feet. Local rocks include Pre-Tertiary metamorphic rocks, undivided.
Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of 9 adits, 11 open cuts, and with about 1,700 feet of drifts and crosscuts.
Production was 6 carloads of hand picked ore in 1920, 30 tons were shipped in 1936, and 1 ton was shipped in 1942.
