A group of 7 manganese claims in the NE end of the Big Horn Mountains at an altitude of approximately 2,400 feet.. Located in 1916. Lies at 2,400 feet of altitude.
Mineralization is in low hills composed of reddish biotite andesite with a little dacite. Deposits found in a number of veins and brecciated zones that strike from N.70ºW. to due West and are vertical. Most veins are less than 1 foot wide and oreshoots only a few feet long. The largest shoot is 25 feet long and 2 feet wide on surface. The manganese oxides are deposited about fragments of country rock or as fissure fillings. Calcite generally accompanies the ore.
Workings include discovery shafts each 10 feet deep (1918).
