A former small underground Au-W-Cu-Pb-Zn mine located in the NE¼ sec. 30, T14S, R28E. Discovered 1900 for gold. Scheelite was discovered in 1943.
Mineralization is a vein deposit. The quartz vein strikes E-W. Veinlets along the fault separating Paleozoic limestones on the south from Precambrian schists. Mineralization was concentrated at limestone-quartz vein contact. Samples from the contact zone assayed at 0.95-3.24% WO3 over widths of 5-60 cm. The Scheelite contains Pb.
Workings developed by a shaft 26 meters deep and an adit 67 meters long.
