Report: This mine was also known as the Glacier Silver-Lead and is located at the junction of Granite and Shaughnessy creeks. More than 10,500 feet of workings were explored in at least four levels and the deposit was split into the East and West veins (Gibson, 1948). The site had a 325-ton per day mill. Presently, the mill has been dismantled and burned. No open adits were noted during 1998; private land was not investigated.
