Report: No references were listed in the USBM MILS database for this placer and it was not mentioned in Lyden (1948). It is mentioned in Johns, W.M., 1970, MBMG Bulletin 79. Johns states that this locality averages $1.00 a yard in 1961 from an area 100' x 400'. A fairly recent placer operation was noted in the general vicinity of where MILS listed this occurrence, but we were not 100% sure that this was the same deposit. A small old wash plant was in place and had been used fairly recently. A ore bin with sluice was also present.
