A former underground Pb-Ag-Cu mine located in the center E½ sec. 18, T21S, R15E, in the upper part of Squaw Gulch, ½ mile east of the Bland Mine, at an elevation of about 5,740 feet, on private land. The Joplin Mining Co. had unspecified involvement here (1917).
Mineralization is 2 heavily iron-stained quartz veins where they cross the contact of granite porphyry intruded into the country rock diorite. The veins strike about N.75ºW., and the formational contact approximately follows Squaw Gulch in a north-south direction.
Ore consists of sulphides in a quartz gangue.
Workings include shallow shafts.
