I recovered this U.S. Geological Survey benchmark from 1932 in good condition. It is a brass disk monumented on top of a concrete pad at the top of the steps at the south part of the front (north) entrance to Little Butte Elementary School facing N Shasta Ave. This disk does not appear in the NGS database but is listed on a topography map as 'BM 1304 B 8 1932' with an arrow pointing to the 'X' where the disk is located in front of the school. The disk also contains the elevation stamping of '1304'. My posted coordinates should place you very close to this mark.
