A former Au occurrence/mine located in sec. 35, T19N, R10E, MDM, about 1.6 km (1 mile) E of Alleghany, along the N canyon wall of Kanaka Creek, on National Forest land. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 500 meters.
Mineralization is a vein deposit. The ore body strikes N73W and dips 60SW. The main vein has an occasional ribbon structure and uncommon coarse pyrite. Among the other veins, one may follow the same fissure as the neighboring Docile vein, and is cut off by the Belmont vein. It strikes a few degrees N of W with a NE dip. Another vein crops out 100 feet S of the Belmont vein and may end against the Belmont vein. Another vein N of the Belmont vein may limit the Belmont vein, and is traceable for 400 feet and may be prospected on the N bank of the creek. Local rocks include undivided pre-Cenozoic metavolcanic rocks, unit 2 (undivided).
Workings include underground openings comprised of 3 adits to the main vein. Other veins were explored with adits and cuts. Reportedly mined from 3 adits.
Production data are found in: Ferguson, Henry G. & R.W. Gannett (1932).
Total production didn't exceed a few hundred dollars. No production record was found.
