The last mine in the Ruby district to end operations. Mined off and on from the mid 1880's to the 1960's. Rumors of another possible reopening have circulated. The main portal and two of the three lower adits are completely flooded. All of the lower three adits' portals are blocked, two by a cave in, and one by debris from a decaying mill. Dynamite bunkers are scattered in decent numbers along the hillside. So far, four adits and two shafts have been located in the area. More entries are possible.
