A tungsten mine near the head of Owl Creek. It produced ore in 1945 and 1946, also in 1951-1955.
The geologic setting is of Jurassic and Tertiary Granitic rock. Three parallel quartz veins.
Structure: Greisenized
Alteration: Wall Rock Bordering Veins Is Greisenized And Contains Some Sulfides.
Commodity: 3 sub-parallel veins generally less than 8 inches thick in lower levels; 6 to 15 inches thick in upper workings.
Deposit: Roof pendant of precambrian quartzite and slate on ridge above mine is part of togo formation.
Development: Econ.com: pyrite and molybdenite are contaminants in concentrates from jigging and tabling-flotation cells might be required.
Geology: Pods of W minerals with minor molybdenite sporadically distributed in thin quartz veins
Rock formation(s): Quartz Monzonite
