Report: R.T.C. LC001957 Two totally collapsed adits and one waste dump are present here. The upper adit has a seep but there is no erosional channel present leading to the creek. The waste dump is near the creek but is not in contact with it. Total disturbance is less than one acre. An ore bin is in good condition and a cabin is in fair condition. Access is via a fair dirt road up the east side of Shoue Creek then by a 4x4 trail which crosses the creek several times and finally turns up Chambers Gulch. The mine is located at the end of the road. This property is also known as the Ward Thompson. There is a mineral property file on the R.T.C. located in the MBMG files. R.T.C. stands for Robert T. Cummings.
