A Ag-Pb-Cu-Au-Zn-Mo mine located in the SW ¼ sec. 35, T.22S., R.15E. Owned at times, or in part, by Stockton; Gray; and, Brown.
Mineralization is pockety, argentiferous galena, partly oxidized to cerussite, minor oxidized copper minerals, and wulfenite in a quartz and gouge gangue along a strong shear zone cutting altered and leached Precambrian metamorphic rocks, intruded by Jurassic granitic intrusive.
Workings include shaft and pit operations. Over 250 tons of Pb-Ag ore were mined in the late 1800's and up through 1937. The output for the group would be some 350 tons of ore averaging about 56 oz. Ag/T, 39% Pb, 1% Cu, and minor
