A former small W-Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn-Baryte mine located in the corner of secs. 13, 14, 23 & 24, T18S, R23E. Last produced 1932. Owned by the Standard Tungsten Corp.
Mineralization is spotty, straw-colored, coarsely crystalline scheelite with minor base metal sulfides and baryte pods. The barite is in replacement bodies in intensely silicated Mississippian and Pennsylvanian limestones.
Workings include a shaft, adit and surface openings. About 1Β½ tons of tungsten concentrates and some 75 tons of sorted barite were produced in 1932.
There are 4 small prospects in this group, separated by several hundred feet. Two on the East side of the hill, visible from the Middlemarch road and two small mines on the West side of the hill, not visible from the Middlemarch road. The two small dumps on the West end of the claim have copper color on the dumps.
