Hunter Prospect
A silver prospect located on the shore of Lake Chelan, just north of the mouth of Cascade Creek. The ore occurred in a 7' thick zone of alteration in granite gneiss. It was developed by a 50' adit, a 10' deep inclined shaft, and a cut.
Note: Huntting (1956) lists the Orphan Boy as a separate occurrence from the Hunter, this appears to be incorrect.
