A silver mine with a questionable location somewhere near Hunters. It worked a quartz vein with some calcite and barite. Development included a shaft, adits, and drifts aggregating 1,750'. This mine shipped 3 tons of high grade ore in 1900.
Note: Huntting (1956) lists this mine as being near the Cleveland Mine. However Landes (1902) lists it as being south of the Deer Trail mine, several miles away.
