A former Mn mine located in the SE¼ sec. 26 & in sec. 27, T30N, R12W, MDM, 4.6 km (2.9 miles) NW of Dubakella Mountain, along Ditch Gulch, on National Forest land (located claim). Discovered 1937. First produced in 1942. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 100 meters.

Mineralization is a sedimentary Mn deposit hosted in chert. The first ore body strikes N40W, dips 80E, at a thickness of 2 meters, 3.35 meters wide and 42.67 meters long. It is lenticular in form. The second ore body is a replacement body which is irregular in shape. The primary mode of origin was oxidation and the secondary mode was residual concentration. Primary ore control was lithology and the secondary control was igneous. There is no wall rock alteration.
The ore body is a massive crescent-shaped ledge about 140 feet long and 11 feet maximum width. It averages 8 feet in thickness and consists of a mass of rhodonite, bementite and rhodochrosite, in thin-bedded chert, which is near a mass of greenstone. The regional strike is NW and the dip is nearly vertical. It is bounded by a vertical fault which brings greenstone against chert about 10 feet SW of the ore body. Much of the rock consists of a mineral that resembles bementite, perhaps braunite or hausmannite, or a hydrous silicate. Local rocks include Paleozoic marine rocks, undivided, unit 9 (Western Klamath Mountains).
Analytical data results: Average grade 40% Mn.
