A former Au mine located in the S½ (estimated) sec. 18 & in the N½ (estimated) sec. 19, T4S, R17E, MDM (section lines projected), 2.0 km (6,700 feet) NW of Bear Valley (town), on unpatented land. Property consisted of 2 unpatented claims. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in greenstone. The ore body strikes NW and dips vertically at a thickness od 1.83 meters. It is a broad vein in wall rocks of schistose greenstone. Local rocks include Mesozoic volcanic rocks, unit 2 (Western Sierra Foothills and Western Klamath Mountains).
Workings include underground openings comprised of a 210 foot shaft,a crosscut adit 250 feet long, and a 20 foot raise, presumably from the end of the crosscut.
Castello (1921), notes the ore was said to assay $7 - $20/ton (period values).
