Report: There were no tailings present at the site. There were no discharging adits or any hazardous materials or structures. The Whippoorwill claim is located a half mile southwest of the Silver Dyke mine on a ridge between the headwaters of Mackey Creek and Squaw Creek (Robertson, 1951). Development work includes a shaft that is 250 feet deep. There are many crosscuts and drifts off of the shaft at many levels. There is also a 40 foot winze. The ore contains galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite.
