A former lode Au mine located in the W½ (estimated)sec. 14, T2N, R13E, MDM, 1.3 km (0.8 mile) WSW of Carson Hill (town) (4½ miles SSE of Angels Camp). Extensively worked during the period 1889 to 1895. Some work during the period 1910 to 1918. Surface prospected in the 1930's. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.

Mineralization is a vein deposit hosted in phyllite and greenschist. The ore body strikes N35W and dips 70NE. The vein is 3+ feet thick. Pyrite is abundant in the vein and adjacent wallrock with calcite. Local rocks include undivided pre-Cenozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 2 (undivided).

Workings include surface and underground openings comprised of 2 inclined shafts 200 plus feet deep, 150 feet apart, plus open cuts.

Production data are found in: Clark, Wm. B. & P.A. Lydon (1962).

Considerable high-grade ore found near surface when the mine was first opened. Ore produced in 1889 ran $10 to $12 (period values) Au/ton.
