A former underground Pb-Zn-Ag-Fe-Mo-Mn-W-V-Fluorspar mine located in East-central & the SE¼ of sec. 34, T3S, R23W, about 1¼ miles NW of the Red Cloud Mine, on BLM-administered land. Owned by Neal Mining Co. (1933).
Mineralization is 2 veins, one a few feet wide and the other about 50 feet wide that occur in a fault zone that strikes N27ºW. & dips 65ºNE. Vein fillings include argentiferous lead sulfate and carbonate, zinc carbonate, lead oxide, wulfenite, and partly altered streaks of galena in irregular bunches or in vugs in irregular lensing veins along faults cutting bedded Tertiary-Cretaceous rhyolite tuffs and andesitic flows that are faulted against granite. Gangue is iron oxides, manganiferous calcite, quartz and fluorite. Ore said to average 6% Pb and 8 oz. Ag/T.
Workings include a shaft and a tunnel on the wider of the 2 veins.
