A former underground Cu-Au-Ag-Fluorspar mine. Discovered by Mr. Rylander. Produced 1908-1944.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body. Ore control was faulting, shearing, and igneous activity (dikes). Ore concnetration was oxidation at near surface. No alteration was noted.
Area structures include veins (and genetitically-related [?]) dikes that trend N10W to N40W and crosscut Precambrian fabric. Foliation in Precambrian schist and gneiss trends N25E to N65E.
