A former surface and underground Cu-Ag-Au-U mine located in the SWΒΌSEΒΌSEΒΌ sec. 24, T.19S., R.14E. Owned at times, or in part, by the Old Hickory Copper Co.; and, Parber.
Mineralization is compound quartz-fissure vein and stockwork with copper carbonates and sulfides, cutting a Laramide granodiorite intrusive. Some disseminated chalcocite in the wall rock.
Workings include shafts and tunnels. Produced intermittently some 200 tons of picked 9% Cu and 3 oz. Ag/T ore, mainly in 1915-1919.
