A Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au mine located in T.20S., R.14E. Owned at times, or in part, by Powers & Stockton; Garrett & Parks; the Elephant Head Mining Co. (circa 1915); and the New State Mining Co. This claim is at the south end of the group.
Mineralization is partly oxidized sulfides in a quartz fissure vein and in a sheared and altered zone along rhyolite dikes cutting Laramide quartz monzonite wall rock. The mineralized zone is a 25 foot wide belt of altered, sericitized granite stained by iron and copper carbonate, with a 20 foot thick porphyry dike on the north.
Workings include adit and shaft operations. Worked in the early 1900's and in 1913-1914. The group produced some 950 tons of ore averaging about 8% Pb, 3 oz. Ag/T, and minor Cu, Zn, and Au.
