Structure: Dewitt Thrust Fault N-Trending Faults
Deposit: Discovery year: late 1800's these 12 claims were worked sporadically for many years in the early days of the camp, with no record of production. From 1922 to 1924 it was worked for arsenic by the toulon arsenic co. The property was idle from 1924 to the 1950's. Workings consist of an 820-ft adit and an inclined shaft, with several stopes ; info.src : 1 pub lit
