A former underground Cu-Pb-Zn prospect located about ΒΌ mile south of Agua Caliente Canyon, at an elevation of 5,365 feet.
Mineralization involves an east-west shear fault ledge in diorite and is apparently paralleled by a dike of granite porphyry 20 feet to the north. The ledge ranges from 6 to 50 feet wide. It carries gouge and soft, crudely banded ore containing drusy quartz, sulphides and iron oxides.
