A former Cr occurrence/mine located in sec. 17, T14N, R11E, MDM, about 7.3 km WSW of Deadwood, N of Volcano Canyon, on private land. Operated by J. Delmve & E. A. Stone (1955). MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
This is one of many localities placed into a very large area termed the "Forest Hill Divide area" by Rynearson. That area is based on geological and topographic considerations versus mining districts and overlaps several established districts.
Local rocks include Tertiary pyroclastic and volcanic mudflow deposits, unit 9 (Cascade Range).
Workings include underground openings comprised of an "underground open pit" mine (sic), supported with square set stoping.
Analytical data results: Ore averaged 52.2% Cr2O3.
