A gold mine, discovered in 1888. A curved line of outcrop extends 800ft. The main shaft reached water at 335 ft, and has a total depth of 445 ft. The lode contained abundant pyrite. Narrow 1/2 inch indicator veins traversed the lode, and where they intersected, coarse rich gold was found. H.Y.L. Brown recorded that a 8oz specimen of gold in quartz was found on the surface.
The mine was worked in the 1980's by Chris Johnston for specimen gold.
