Köppen climate type:
An antimony prospect located 1/2 mile east of Mud Lake and 10 miles west of Oroville. It worked a vein along a contact between quartzite and schist. It features a pit 5' square and 4' deep.
Deposit: Quartz vein
Development: Pit (probably a shaft at one time).
Geology: Carbonaceous schist laced with limonite-stained qtz stringers. The schist is fault contact with qtzite. About 2 ft south of this contact is a fault mineralized with qtz (about 4 in thick). A polished section of the quartz shows that it and scattered subhedral crystals of arsenopyrite were deposited first; later boulangerite was introduced, replacing the earlier minerals along fractures.
Ore(s): Vein Follows Fault
