Report: The Gold Hill mine was visited 07/20/99. The adit was completely caved and the waste was not in contact with the active drainage. A mill was found down from the mine and is described separately. Johnson et al. (1993) sampled the mine in 1991 and found no significant assays. The area was claimed in 1999 by Pete Northcutt as the Lodestar claims. Johnson et al. (1993) estimated the adit at 175 ft in length; no production was noted. They described the host rock as a strongly altered quartz latite.
