A former underground Cu-Pb-Au-Zn-Ag mine located in the SE¼SE¼ sec. 10, T20S, R14E, situated west of the lower tunnel of the Treasure Vault Mine, northwest side of Agua Caliente Canyon, on National Forest land.

The shaft is reportedly on a vein parallel to that of the Treasure Vault mine, 20 feet to the south. It is felt that it is probably on the same vein. The upper part of the vein, at least, is similar to the Treasure Vault vein.

Workings include a shaft reported to be 80 feet deep. A great deal lof ore obtained during the shaft sinking was reportedly shipped.
