This company produced a total of 1,000,000 ounces of silver. The ore also contained some lead which was shipped out of state. The mine’s peak production occurred before 1940 but produced as late as 1976. After this time the mine was worked on a very small scale.

The ore from both veins trended north and dipped 60° west, was highly limonitic and surrounded by schist country rock.
