A cobalt mine in the Uncle Sam ore zone in the southern part of the Blackbird mine field. This ore zone consists of steeply dipping north- to northeast-trending shear zones which host sulphide lenses, veins, veinlets and stringers. Alteration envelopes also contain sulphides in silicified and chloritized host rocks.

Previously owned by Noranda Inc. & M.A. Hanna Co., then sold to Blackbird Metals, Inc. at the end of 1989. Site re-mediated as Superfund site. Discovered about 1892. Cobalt production in 1918.
