A former underground Au-Ag mine located about 4 miles South of the Ruth Mine and about 3 miles due South from the N.C.4 Mine at 6,000 feet of altitude. Discovered 1891 by R.H. Burmeister, W.C. Bashford, W.H. Ferguson and G.S. Ferguson. Owned by Hill & Burmeister of Prescott. Produced 1894-1940.
Mineralization is a vein deposit. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. No alteration was noted.
Area structures include dikes and veins parallel to foliation in Precambrian rocks, which trends N-S to N10W.
Local rocks are slaty and fissile amphibolitic schists. The deposit is a thick Precambrian gold quartz vein of low-grade ore with scattered rich spots. Quartz is milky white and massive with a few small crystals & irregular, string-like veinlets of pyrite. Shows some stains of chromium mica.
Production was some $7,000 in gold (period values).
