This district is located in the SW Bradshaw Mountains around Hum Bug Camp on Hum Bug Creek, at about 2,600 feet of altitude. It adjoins the Tip Top District on the West. It was started in the early 1880's.
This is a gold mining area with veins from less than 1 foot up to 3 feet wide, with one vein at 9,000 feet long. The principal rocks are large bodies of mica schist, surrounded by granite (Bradshaw Granite) and intruded by numerous dikes of pegmatite and rhyolitic to granitic porphyry. Of note are four light-colored porphyry dikes trending NNE. Veins occur within fault fissures, mainly of northeastward strike and steep northwestward dip. Fillings consist of massive to coarsely crystalline, grayish-white quartz, together with irregular masses, veinlets and disseminations of sulfides.
