Report: Skyscraper LC007302 A shaft was supposed to be present here (Pardee and Schrader, 1933) but all that was found was a large prospect pit which may be a collapsed shaft. The original shaft was supposedly 40 feet deep (Pardee and Schrader, 1933). It is located uphill from the Iron Hill claim after following a line of prospects. A grab sample from the small remaining waste pile ran 0.011 opt Au, 0.30 opt Ag, 0.04% Cu, 0.02% Pb and 0.02% Zn. No hazards were associated with this site on HNF land.
