A former surface and underground fluorspar-Ag-Cu-Pb mine located in sec. 7, T6S, R22E. Phillips gives the location as sec. 6.

Mineralization is irregular and tabular ore body(ies) hosted in Galiuro Volcanics (gneiss and granite per MRDS). Ore control was open space filling, faulting. Alteration is epidotization and silicification.

Production was a small amount of fluorspar. Last produced 1955.
