In 1890 Perrine King rediscovered this prehistoric mine once worked by Native Americans. King dug pits on the south side of the highway to mine high-grade turquoise. His family continues the operation on a limited basis today, using an unpatented claim filed on Bureau of Land Management land. Of the four main shafts, the deepest is about 130 feet.
