A former surface and underground Li-mica-Be-Nb-Ta mine in pegmatite located in the SEΒΌ sec. 30, T.8N., R.2E., in Independence Gulch, at about 2,800 feet East of the Midnight Owl Mine.
Mineralization is a zoned, lithium-bearing pegmatite dike 500 feet long and up to 25 feet wide, that dips steeply, trends North and is traceable for a distance of several hundred feet along strike. The dike appears to be 4 to 25 feet thick.
Workings are shallow open cuts.
