The Devils Canyon prospect was a failed venture to find copper ore near the head of the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River. It explored a zone of abundant quartz and sulfide stringers in granite along a 20' wide shear zone. In places up to 20% of the shear zone is stringers. A 200' adit was driven but there is no recorded production.
