The B and R property is at the head of Arlington Basin, 10.5 kilometres east-northeast of Slocan. Access is from the Slocan highway via the Springer Creek road.

On this property quartz veins cut coarse grained, porphyritic Nelson granite. One of these veins has been explored by two adits. The lower adit, reportedly, intersects the vein at 46 metres from the portal and from there follows it for 120 metres, in which distance the vein averaged 0.6 metre in width and consisted of quartz carrying galena and sphalerite. In the upper adit the vein is 5 centimetres wide and lies between well-defined walls striking 065 degrees and dipping 45 degrees northwest. In this tunnel the vein has been drifted on for 30 metres and a small body of ore has been stoped out.
