A Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au mine within a mine group located in the SW ¼ sec. 27, NE ¼ sec. 33 and the NW ¼ sec. 34, T.14S., R.27E. Owned at times, or in part, by the LeRoy Consolidated Mines Co., Areland Mining Co., VMP Leasing Co., and Bean.
Mineralization is scattered bunches and disseminations of sulfides in irregular, coarsely-textured, cross-cutting quartz veins along fault and shears cutting Precambrian granite rocks, accompanied by intrusive diabase dikes.
Workings include shaft(s). The group produced a few thousand tons of ore in the 1880's and some 4,000 tons intermittently in the 1900's up to 1950.
