| General | OPERATION SUSPENDED IN 1988. |
| General | Deleted MRDS record DE00263 (10021588) suggested that this was a past producer based on the comment "operation suspended in 1988). No proof that this was a productive mine. |
| General | Laurence (Larry) P. James, Golden CO (visited USGS, Lakewood, April, 12, 2011) worked on this property. Suggests contacting Malcom Shannon, in Aurora CO, for more information. |
