Report: D. Nesbit (KNF) reported that the "opening to mine has caved in; leaving an opening into the tunneled mine shaft." The site visit on 08/07/97 found a caved portal but with an open hole into the adit. The mine lies 4.9 miles from Highway 93 along the Deep Creek road. The six original claims were located in 1929 exploring a "6- to 8-inch silver-bearing galena-chlorite vein" (Johns, 1970). The vein is in both a metadiorite sill and in argillites of the Piegan (?) Group (Johns, 1970). Two adits were described: a 70-foot adit and a 476-foot lower adit. A series of NW-trending bedding plane faults were mapped in the mine.
