Napoleon Mine

A deep scar on the side of a hill, it is a well worked site with a lot of buildings and ruins. There appears to be both a head frame and a sluice among the runis. There is a dry creek running through it, so it was likely a placer and dig type of mine. There are more diggings than tailings, for what that is worth.

It appears that this property is owned by either BLM or Calaveras County. It appers to not be under private ownership, which sometimes signifies that it is a highly toxic site. The property is actuall bigger than this outline.
