Deposit: Located on a hillside a few hundred feet west of seventy six creek. It consisted of 600 ft. Of underground workings, w/a tunnel drift of 900 ft. And seven adits ; info.src : 1 pub lit vein
Deposit type: Polymetallic veins
Geology: The mine is on a quartz lode in limestone. The quartz forms a vein within the limestone, and an 18-inch wide ore shoot within the quartz-vein contained $16 in cu and gold (1914). Stibnite occurs As single crystals apparently deposited later than arsenopyrite. A grab sample of dump material assayed 26% sb, .018% selenium, .9% cu, .8 oz/ton au, 2.08 oz/ton Ag (lawrence, 1963 p. 44)
