A former placer Au occurrence/mine located in sec. 13, T4N, R9E, MDM, about 3.65 km E of Wallace. MRDS database accuracy for this location is not stated.
Mineralization is a placer Au deposit. The gravel is 4 to 18 feet thick, uncemented, and without boulders, lying on volcanic tuff bedrock. Fine flake Au thought to average 16? per cubic yard. Local rocks include Miocene nonmarine rocks.
A dragline and floating washing plant were moved from South Gulch to ridge 1 mile S of Camanche in 1937. A dragline with a 2 cubic yard dipper moved gravel to 32 foot scrubber-trommel and 11 sluices with an area of 1,500 square feet.
The bar gold sold by the mine was 885 fine.
