A silver mine located on the West side of Windy Arm of Tagish Lake, approximately 17 km South of Carcross. The mine is located right on the South Klondike Highway (Whitehorse, Yukon to Skagway, Alaska) at km 83.5, 2.8 km North of the Yukon-British Columbia border.
This mine predates the Venus Mine and essentially worked the same veins. The original Daulton workings of around 1905-1906 were probably absorbed by the Venus Mine.
