Small old mica mine. The pegmatite was very mica rich, and contained some beryl. Mica was enriched at a flexure of the pegmatite where it crossed a geological contact. A drive left the underground workings for 30 feet following the pegmatite. The Lindsay and possibly several other small mica mines are in the area.
