This mine is located above the north bank of Slate Creek near the confluence with the South Fork of Slate Creek. The geology is a vein in shear zone in quartzite of the Goat Creek formation. Development consisted of several short adits, an aerial tramway, and a stamp mill. It produced ore prior to 1940. A representative sample of vein material from the lower adit contained trace gold and 0.02 oz/ton Ag.
