A tin mine on Silver Hill south of Spokane. It worked 8 pegmatite and quartz veins in schist and quartzite. The veins average 160" in length, 3' in width, and 40' in depth. One of the veins was mined for tin, while the others were largely explored for their tungsten content. Development includes several shafts and adits, 9,040' of trenched and 8 test pits. Some scheelite and cassiterite concentrates were produced from a mill in 1961.
