Some 1.4 mi from McClure Mountain. Located about 0.3 mi northwest of Road Gulch on the west side of E 1/2 sec. 4, T. 20 N., R. 73 W. (This is thought to be in the same area as the Homestake claims noted by Nelson-Moore and others, 1978 - should be T20S). ("Minerals of Colorado, updated & revised", p. 16, by Eckel, Edwin B., 1997)
