Report: The Herbert mine is located on the Little Hoodoo Mountain 7.5-min. quadrangle and consists of one patented claim. On 09/01/98, there were two near vertical, open inclined shafts. No environmental problems were found. Gibson (1948) reported that the original mine consisted of 10 claims which had two adits and several trenches. In 1934, two adits, one of which was 300 feet, had been driven into shales and sandstones of the Wallace Formation. Both these adits were caved in 1998. The mineralization was found in narrow, NW-trending, quartz-pyrite veins. The mine was listed as "developing" in 1974 (Lawson, 1975).
