A former small underground Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au mine located in West-central sec. 2, T24S, R16E (protracted), in Washington Gulch, Duquesne area, on National Forest land. Closed in 1925. Owned at times, or in part, by the Duquesne Mining & Reduction Co.; Nash Mines; Byrd; and, De la Ossa. Located close to the Texas Mine - may be the same?
