A locality about 7 miles SW of center city Tucson.
Field observations: The area on the smaller north hills is now substantially fenced in as a hazardous waste site. This area includes the slag heap from the on-site smelter and most of the area with acid leaching residue in evidence. The area of the shafts remains accessible; however, most of the dumps have been bulldozed to only a thin veneer of small scraps of ore-related rock. The larger south hill remains accessible but is under active claim (2007).
