The deposit was worked for graphite from 1912 to 1915 by New York Graphite Company. The openings consist of several pits and an adit along the north slope of a ridge, the largest pit measuring 18 m by 4.5 m and 12 m deep. A three-story mill was built at the base of the ridge and treated ore from this deposit and from the National Graphite Mine.
