A former small underground Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn mine located in South-central sec. 20, T.16S., R.31E. (Blue Mountain 7.5 minute topo map),on the SE edge of Blue Mountain. Operated by J. Pospahala in 1942.
Mineralization consists of spotty lead and minor copper carbonates in lensing replacement deposits in a folded band of Mississippian Escabrosa Limestone. Ore control was folded band of limestone.
Local structures include overturned Paleozoic sediments which strike WNW and dip 40-55SW. Folding affects the Escabrosa and the yonger Paradise Formation to the SW.
Workings include relatively shallow shafts and adits. About 50 tons of ore were shipped in 1942.
