A Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn mine group located in the South-central (SΒ½SΒ½SΒ½) sec. 18 & North-central sec. 19, T.23S., R.11E, on National Forest land. Sheeny, Taylor, and Buckley had unspecified involvement here (1976). Huntington; Pyeatt; Hack; Anderson; Roxy Mining Co.; and Bruce all had unspecified involvement here.
Mineralization is a lensing quartz vein along a fault zone with pyrite strings and associated, disseminated, base metal sulfides, largely oxidized and supergene enriched to secondary sulfides and other minerals.
Workings include shaft and adit openings. Located in the late 1800's and produced through 1964. Production was some 800 or more tons of ore averaging about 11 oz. Ag/T, 0.2 oz. Au/T, 2% Cu & 1% Pb.
