Located on the west side of Beaver Creek approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 kilometers) southeast of the confluence of Beaver Creek and the Coeur d' Alene River. The closest town is Prichard, Idaho.
A jumble of different owners, consolidation of owners, and the ensuing naming conventions lead to much confusion. This mine began life as the Rooster Goose Mine. Was later acquired by the Clear Grit Mine consortium. At that time it was renamed Clear Grit and Rooster Goose Mine (This due to the fact that the Clear Grit group also owned the Clear Grit Mine on the opposite side of the Beaver Creek Canyon. To relieve confusion between the Clear Grit Mine and the Clear Grit Rooster Goose Mine we revert back to the original name here.
