A Cu-Ag-Au-Mo-Pb-Zn mine located in all of sec. 10, T3S, R13E (Sonora 7.5 minute topo map), about 2¾ miles SSW of Scott Mountain, about 3¾ miles S of Hot Tamale Peak, and about 4 miles NNW of Kelvin. Discovered 1846. First produced 1911. NOTE: This mine, named after the mining town of Ray, subhumed that town (which no longer exists).
