A former surface and underground Pb-Ag-Au mine located in the SW¼, sec. 1 and secs. 2 & 11, T3N, R18W, on federal land. Produced 1918-1919.
Mineralization is spotty pods and veinlets of argentiferous galena, partly oxidized to anglesite and sooty acanthite, in a 4 foot wide zone of strong pyritic mineralization along a thrust fault in metamorphosed Mesozoic sediments, with basic and acid dikes, and capped by Laramide sediments.
Workings include a shaft(s) and adit operations. Workings included 2 tunnels about 100 foot long each plus 3 shafts with the deepest at 100 feet deep (1881). Worked by French as early as 1840 and reportedly produced some 300 tons of high-grade lead-silver ore in 1863-1864.
