Historic mining camp complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Built: 1880s
Areas of significance: Architecture; Exploration/Settlement; Industry
Area: 20 acres
Date added to NRHP: 12/27/1978
Other designations: part of the Mining Industry in Colorado Multiple Property Submission; listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties
Notes: This mining camp once consisted of a main cabin, a bunkhouse, a storage building, and an outhouse, in addition to a log bridge across Pine Creek that led to a forge and the entrance to the mine. When this property was added to the NRHP in 1978, the buildings were intact and in good condition, but satellite imagery suggests the site currently may be little more than ruins.
