Location: In the early 1980's, there was placer mining on the lower part of what is locally called Carroll Creek, which is about 2 miles west of Meigs Peak. The mining probably took place about 0.3 mile west of the northeast corner of section 28, T. 46 S., R. 72 E.
Geology: Placer gold may have been been discovered in the 1880's on what is locally called Carrol Creek (Redman and others, 1989). But there was apparently no production until the early and middle 1980's, when a small portable dredge mined in the lower part of the creek. There is no information on the amount of gold that was recovered but it was probably small. The rocks in the area are black phyllite, part of the Permian to Cretaceous metavolcanic unit of Gehrels and Berg (1992).
Workings: Small-scale placer mining in the early and middle 1980's.
Age: Quaternary.
Production: Some, but probably small.
