A former Au-Sb-Pb-Zn-As occurrence/mine located in the NE¼ of sec. 32, T1N, R2W, FM, 0.8 miles N. of the junction of St Patrick and Henderson roads, at an elevation of 900-1250 feet.
Mineralization is a vein deposit that includes free gold, arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena and sphalerite occuring in quartz veins with schist inclusions.
Workings include underground openings on the Mohawk vein and include 2,900 feet of drifts and 1,800 feet of raises and winzes developed on the vein over a length of 1,300 feet, with a vertical depth of 232 feet. the property produced about 9,676 ounces of Au by 1931, mostly from the Mohawk vein.
