Report: St. Anthony-Twohy Roby and others (1960) described this small mine with no recorded production. Workings consist of 3 two caved adits, an open adit, and a caved shaft, with a total length of less than 700 feet. They mined a vertical N87W black quartz vein 2-4.5 feet wide for 200 feet of strike length. Host rock is quartz monzonite with some disseminated galena near the vein. One adit discharges water; a composite sample of the associated dump ran 0.007 oz/ton gold, .54 oz/ton silver, .044% copper, .760% lead, and .663% zinc. The assay sheet listed results as 0.038 oz ton gold, 0.36 oz/ton silver, 0.031% copper, 0.29% lead, 0.163% zinc, and 0.23% arsenic. It is uncertain why there are two different sets of results.
