Location: Location known only from claim records (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1980) and probably is at least generally correct. Single placer claim staked in Crittenden Creek somewhere in section 2 or 11, T. 62 S, R. 84 E.
Geology: A single placer claim was staked in 1974-1975 but apparently has not been active since (U.S. Bureau of Mines, 1980). Country rock in vicinity is Tertiary-Cretaceous biotite schist (Brew, 1997 [OF 97-156-H]). No other deposits are nearby.
Workings: A single placer claim was staked in 1974-1975 but apparently has not been active since.

Commodities (Major) - Au?
