A gold property located about 1,600 feet North of the Sheep Tanks Camp.
Mineralization is a manganiferous vein that occurs along a fault in the breccia. The vein is somewhat curved, strikes N65W and dips 45NE and is from a few inches to about 2 feet wide. Near the surface it consists mainly of fine, silicified breccia, cemented by abundant pyrolusite. The wall rock in places carries a little gold.
