A former surface and underground W-Cu-Mo-Fluorspar-Be mine located in the SE¼ SW¼ sec. 7, T.18N., R.15W., NNE of the Boriana Mine. Discovered 1928 by Jim Craig and William Bke

Mineralization is veins that strike N.30º to 40ºE.; quartz veins in muscovite schist and 2-mica granite, and also pass NE-ward into granite on the 700 foot level, which contains scheelite-bearing greisen zones and small amounts of disseminated scheelite. Orebodies pinch and swell. The scheelite-bearing rock is more micaceous and limonite-stained. Ore control was foliation in phyllite (N30º-40VE, dip 75º-90ºSE) and joint planes in granite.

Workings to at least the 700 foot level.
