A polymetallic mine on the northeast slope of the Southeast spur of Mineral Hill, 2 miles southwest of Nespelem. It worked tabular lenses and veinlets of ore along an 8'-10' fracture zone in granite. The oxidization zone was no more than 20' deep. Development includes a 700' main haulage adit, and 2,500' of workings on 3 levels that include 3 shafts and 3 adits. It produced and shipped 29 tons of ore in 1911-1912. Also in 1916-1917, 1919-1922, 1925-1926, 1937-1940.
The ore was shipped to the Tacoma Smelter (http://www.mindat.org/loc.php?loc=52739)
