Report: This site was dry, but with three open stopes along a structure and one open shaft in front of a cabin in good condition. The cabin had a lock on it (but is on FS land) and has had recent occupancy). The road also has a locked gate on FS land. After speaking with Betsy Follman, USFS, Boulder field station, it appears someone in 1993 or 94 "bought" the mine and cabin which is on Forest Service land from a private party. Photos 24-9, -10 and -11 were taken at the site.
