Report: This group consists of two lode claims and a placer claim, near Geiger Lake. Workings include a 240-foot adit driven NW into Prichard Formation argillite and sandstone. The "ore" was limonite and galena in quartz veins (Gibson, 1948). The area was worked in 1902 and produced 1,000 tons of ore (Banister et al, 1981).
