The South Juanita mine, also known as the "Juanita Extention," is located about 1/4 mile south of the Juanita mine. Production was reported in 1907, 1912, 1918-1919, and 1928-1929 producing lead, zinc and some silver. The mine sat idle in the other years with some sporadic operation 1930-1939. The mine consists of a 200 ft. vertical shaft that accessed three levels. Most of the ore came from a stope about 100 by 270 feet along level 1, and a few small pockets of ore on level 2. The dominant ore mined was lead carbonate with minor quantities of zinc carbonate. The adit entry to the mine has collapsed, burying the portal. The main shaft is still open.
