A former Au occurrence/mine located in the SE¼ sec. 2, T22N, R17E, WM. It is located on the N side of Culver Gulch, 1,200 feet West of old Blewett, adjoining the Sandell on the E and the Keynote on the W.
It worked lenticular lenses filling a shear zone in serpentine.
Developments include 3 adits, the Meteor with 700 feet of drifts, the Peshastin with 1,300' of drifts and crosscuts, and the Draw with 480 feet of workings.
It produced about $60,000 (period values) by 1902, and 22 tons in 1940.
Note: Purdy (1951) questions the occurrence of stibnite here.
Deposit: Located in lower culver gulch 1,200 ft west of the town of blewett. Description of property indicates it may be same As 0530070331. See also gold bond (0530070359), la rica (0530070376) and blewett tungsten (0530070003) As there appears to be some spacial overlap between these properties.
