A former lode Au occurrence/mine located S of the Tightner Mine, E of Alleghany.
In 1919, it was discovered that the neighboring Twenty-One Mine to the south had been trespassing on the Sixteen-to-One claims. Litigation resulted in a judgment against the Twenty-One Mine for $93,000. As settlement, the Twenty-One Mine was sold to the Sixteen-to-One for $60,000 (Clark and Fuller, 1968). The Twenty-One tunnel ultimately became part of the 800-foot level of the Sixteen-to-One Mine.
