A gold placer deposit area located in the SW ¼ sec. 15, T.29N., R.17W.
Yellow-gray, distinctly foliated to laminated quartzofeldspathic, medium-grained gneiss is the dominant clast type. Subangular to subrounded boulders as much as 0.6 meters diameter are common. Pyritic vein quartz is present but uncommon, and some pyritic and feldspathic altered wall rock of quartzofeldspathic gneiss is present. Gold and limonite pseudomorphs after pyrite were found northward. Reportedly gold fragments greater than 1 mm were very common.
Worked heavily in the late 1950's.
