A large lead-silver mine NW of Colville near Bossburg. The ore occurred as lenses following the bedding of phyllite along and near the contact with argillite. Development consisted of a 565' deep incline shaft with a 2000' adit connecting to one of the upper levels. The shaft had seven levels with around 9800' of workings along it. It produced roughly 100,000 tons of ore sporadically from before 1890 to 1954. Mills (1977) reported the production to contain 24,880,000 lbs Pb, 230,000 lbs Zn, and 238,000 oz Ag.
