The Bald Eagle claim (Lot 1473) lies 1 kilometre southwest of the Phoenix pit (082ESE020), on the east slope of Knob Hill. Early work consists of a shaft. The claim was Crown granted to F.P. Buck in 1900.

Little is know of the showing. Mineralization likely consists of pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminations in sharpstone conglomerate and limestone of the Triassic Brooklyn Group. These rocks are underlain by chert and greenstone of the Upper Paleozoic Knob Hill Group.

See Phoenix for additional details on development, geology and mineralization in the area.
