A former lode Au prospect/mine located in the SE¼ sec. 36, T37N, R9E, MDM, 0.7 km (0.4 mile; 2,300 feet) WSW of Hayden Hill (summit) (coordinates of record) and 0.8 km (0.5 mile) E of Hayden Hill (town), on the western slope of the summit. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is a vein Au deposit (Mineral occurrence model information: Model code: 104; USGS model code: 25a; Deposit model name: Hot-spring Au-Ag; Mark3 model number: 45), hosted in Pliocene rhyolite. The ore body is a vein at 2½ feet wide, 0.76 meters thick, courses nearly N-S, and dips about 45W, between brecciated rhyolite walls. At a point 45 feet E of the portal, a brecciated rhyolite dike was cut 30 feet in width, with ore occurring on both sides of this dike. Local rocks include Tertiary intrusive rocks (hypabyssal), unit 1 (Cascades Volcanic Field).
Local structures include a dike which is brecciated. Related tectonic structures include the Modoc Plateau.
Workings include underground openings (100 foot (30.48 meters) deep vertical shaft + 1 additional shaft (NFI); crosscut tunnel 210 feet long; and drifts driven on both W and E sides of the dike).
Production was estimated at $20,000 (period values).
