This mine is so small it doesn’t have a name on any of the maps I’ve seen.  I only found it because I was hiking to Lake Catherine and randomly hiked up a small gulch to get pictures of some deer.  I then saw some tailings and went to investigate.

The mine only goes in a few feet even though the tailings would suggest otherwise.  But there are no signs of a shaft or adit so this mine is most likely just a prospect.

The only thing this mine has going for it is the location it's in.
