A Cr occurrence located in the SW¼ sec. 12, T17N, R10E, MDM, 1.3 km (0.8 mile) SSW of Washington, S of the South Yuba River, on National Forest land. Discovered in 1918. Owned & operated by T. B., R. F., & J. M. Williamson and C. M. Cole. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 1,000 meters.
Local rocks include ultramafic rocks, chiefly Mesozoic, unit 2 (Western Sierra Nevada and Klamath Mountains).
Workings include surface openings comprised of an open cut.
Production of this deposit probably was included with that of the Red Ledge and other deposits operated by the partnership, since it was not reported separately, but reserves estimated in 1918 indicated that the deposit could have yielded as much as 50, and perhaps even 100, long tons of ore.
