A former underground Ag-Pb-Au-Zn mine located in the NW¼NE¼ sec. 11, T21S, R14E, on National Forest land. Mr. Josiah Bond had unspecified involvement here (1924).
Mineralization is a vein which strikes N.60ºW. The vein is 15 feet or more wide. It consists principally of iron-stained, silicified diorite, which, however, contains a 4 foot band of iron- and lead-stained quartz that carries galena and sphalerite. Some of the ore, which probably contained chlorargyrite, is said to have averaged 50 oz. Ag/T.
Workings include a 280 foot deep shaft and a 100 foot drift to the east on the 220 level.
