A Ag-Pb-Au-Zn prospect with underground workings located ¼ mile NW of the Wandering Jew Mine on the north side of Apache Gulch, at an elevation of 4,770 feet. Bond, Laguna, and Ramon had unspecified involvement here (1932). The Three Star is a patented claim just south of these prospects and is part of the Wandering Jew group. It is unclear if this MILS LOC represents the patented claim or the prospects to the north.

Mineralization involves a quartz vein which dips 85ºS., in latite, and is opened by a shaft and three 10-foot holes. The quartz contains promary and secondary minerals.
