A former underground Au-Ag-Cu mine located about 100 feet west of the Wombacher Mine and about 1½ miles east of Cherry. Produced 1936-1941.

Mineralization is a vein deposit with a tabular ore body. The vein is one of the steepest in the district, striking N.35ºE., and dips 70ºW. to vertical. Ore control was faulting and shearing. Ore concentration was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was fault gouge. An associated rock unit is the informally-named Cherry Quartz Diorite, which is unfoliated.

Workings include a 70 foot deep shaft.
