A former underground Ag-Au-Pb-Zn mine located near the Copper basin, about 4 miles SE of the Button Mine, at 5,500 feet of altitude. Discovered by James Lane in 1882. First produced 1883. Owned by Mr. John Revello (1926).
Mineralization is a silver-bearing vein with quartz and spar (carbonate) in a lens-shaped and massive ore bodies. Ore control was igneous intrusions. Ore concentration process was oxidation at near surface. Alteration was propylitic and sericitic.
Area structures include dikes of rhyolite that trend N15E to N35E. Proterozoic rock is massive and unfoliated.
A 4-stamp mill was erected on the property. Production was some 300 tons of ore yielding $50,000 in Au & Ag (period values).
