A Cu-Hg-Au occurrence located in sec. 29, T14N, R8E, MDM, 0.9 km (0.6 mile) SW of Higgins Corner (near Nickerson Ranch between Wolf and Dry Creeks). MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated. Apparently never developed as none of the later material published by the state makes mention of either of these deposits.
Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in serpentinite and quartzite. Local rocks include Mesozoic volcanic rocks, unit 2 (Western Sierra Foothills and Western Klamath Mountains).
