A former small surface and underground W-Pb-Ag-Au mine located in North-central sec. 4, T.23S., R.20E., immediately North of the end of Jame's Road. Started 1935 and closed 1938. Produced again 1950-1955. Owned by Gold, Silver, and Tungsten Inc. (1935-1938).
Mineralization is comprised of streaks of scheelite, spotty galena and disseminated pyrite along the hanging and footwalls of a quartz vein cutting coarse-grained Precambrian granite. The vein strikes N. and dips 25ºW. & cuts coarse-textured pink granite. A schistose, altered, dark green dike about 1 foot wide occurs in the hanging wall. Vein filling is coarsely crystalline, grayish-white quartz with pyrite and scheelite.
Workings are surface openings (shallow pits), an inclined shaft reported to be 90 feet deep, and tunnels. Some gold ore was produced in the early 1900's. Considerable tungsten ore was produced during WWI, and a minor amount in the 1950's.
