Mine.
Located 79 m downhill from Mine 1, a square fenced-off shaft with a rigid steel grid drops 8.5 m into an adit measuring 50 m in total. At the foot of the shaft, a shallow climb over rubble is necessary and much of the way is occupied by standing water varying from 0 .1 to 0.4 m in depth. Southward from the shaft a continuation of the adit extends for 17.7 m to daylight, gradually losing head height. Apparently little or no silver was gained from this site.
Alternative Names: None recorded.
Notes: See Alva Mine (Site #253) for primary registry entry.
