A surface placer gold deposit and former producing placer mine located about ¾ mile WSW of Oxbow Estates and about 5 miles SSW of Payson.
Mineralization is a surface placer gold deposit hosted inn unconsolidated gravels. The gold was derived from the Ox Bow vein and was concentrated in the thin soil on the hillside. The gold particles occur as flat nuggets to a quarter of an inch (7 mm) long and are a deeper colour than the vein gold, probably owing to less silver.
