A large pegmatite dike on lot 7, concession X, Conger township, half a mile west of the Canadian Pacific railway has been opened up by an open pit about 100 feet in diameter and 57 feet deep. The lower 20 feet of the pit is filled with water. As now exposed on the walls of the pit, and from material on the dump, the dike consists of pink microcline containing irregular glassy white quartz stringers and small books of muscovite. A little red garnet was found in some of the quartz. [Spence (1932, p. 55) states that the deposit carries a good grade of spar, but also contains zones of graphic granite.

The McQuire-Robinson Radium and By-Product Company, Limited, operated this deposit in 1923 and 1924 and in the early part of 1925, shipping in 1924 and 1925, 2,249 and 618 tons, respectively. P.W. and H.R. Checkley operated in 1924, shipping 1,372 tons. Work ceased on this property owing to the abundance of graphic granite.
