A copper mine southwest of Chewelah near the head of Deer Creek. It was developed by around 6000' of workings in three adits and had some sporadic production from 1915-1932. The ore existed in a semi-oxidized quartz vein up to 14" wide paralleling laminations in schist. Assays ran from 4.5%-6.6% Cu with minor silver and gold.
Note: this should not be confused with the Admiral Mine by Leadpoint also in Stevens County
