Report: Copper Contact is a patented claim to the east of the Indian Queen mine. One adit was located, but was completely collapsed with 10" to 12" Douglas fir trees growing on the dump. The dump consists of weathered intrusive and little else. The mine is located near the contact with Mission Canyon limestone (Loen and Pearson, 1989 and Pattee, 1960) and the intrusive. A 4-foot chip sample by Pattee (1960) assayed no tungsten and there is no record of production. One cabin of Douglas fir logs is located to the northeast, in bad condition (walls O.K., but roof gone).
