10 miles from Sumpter, Oregon, Baker County.

Mountainous, hard rock, granite and quartz vein.

Historic production and development of large quartz veins reportedly yielded vast quantities of high grade ore containing Gold, Silver and other precious metals. Extensive drilling and testing were done in 1982 when gold had dipped to nearly $200 per ounce and the mining stopped. It was reported that there are multiple veins up to 1,750 feet in length and 5 feet wide. There is also considerable ore reported in the mine dumps that exist for reprocessing. The California Mine is one of the oldest in the State of Oregon, located in 1873. This area went into production in and around 1900 after the transcontinental railroad came through in 1885.
