A V-Pb-Mo-Cu mine located in the NE ΒΌ sec. 17, T.29N., R.17W.
Mineralization is a fault zone striking S.15ΒΊE. and dipping about 70ΒΊNE. Slickensides have variable orientation but generally plunge moderately (50 to 60 ΒΊ) N. The vein is an 8 cm thick quartz-carbonate vein containing sporadically distributed interstitial chlorite. Minor seams of episyenitic aplite.
Workings include a 15 meter adit and an open cut.
