A former lode Au-Ag occurrence/mine located in the N½NE¼ (accurate) sec. 4, T15N, R11E, MDM, 2.8 km (1.7 miles) SE of Midas and about 6.2 km NNW of Damascus on the S canyon wall of the North Fork of the North Fork American River (S slope of Sawtooth Ridge (divide between the North Fork of the North Fork and the North Fork American River)) (3 mile SE of Towle), on private land within a National Forest area. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 100 meters.
NOTE: USGS MRDS database file #10086483 places this mine in the Dutch Flat District; however, it is quite a distance from that district's mines and Dutch Flat itself. Clark (1970a) places it in the Damascus District, consistent with other nearby mines.
Mineralization is hosted in Pennsylvanian slate. The ore body strikes NW and dips 45NE at a thickness of 42.67 meters. The deposit involves porphyry dikes 4 to 140 feet thick. Local rocks include Paleozoic marine rocks, undivided, unit 4 (Western Sierra Nevada).
Workings include underground openings with a length of 1,886.41 meters and an overall depth of 212.14 meters, and comprised of an open cut, shaft, tunnel (?), drifting and adits.
Production data are found in: Logan, Clarence August (1936).
No other production record was found.
