A former small surface and underground Cu-Ag-Pb-Zn group of mines located in the SE ¼ sec. 23 & the SW ¼ sec. 24, T.15S., R.22E. (Dragoon 7.5 minute topo map). Located north of the Johnson Mine, at the end of the road. Location measured to the center of the shaft symbol. Discovered 1900. Closed 1915. Owned in part, or at times, by the Magazine Copper Co. and the Coronado Copper & Zinc Co. Operated by A.H. Warner (1943); MaQuire Copper Co. (1906-1907), and the MaKay Mining Co. (1915).
Mineralization is local concentrations of copper sulfides and oxidized, argentiferous copper mineralization in silicified beds of Pennsylvanian Horquila Limestone. Ore control was replacement beds near NE-trending faults and folds. The beds strike NW and dip 40NE. An associated rock unit is the Texas Canyon Quartz Monzonite (53 ± 3MY).
Local structures include a massive fracture system. Tertiary block faulting with a general NE trend.
Workings include a shaft and surface workings. A total of some 600 tons of ore were prodcued in 1900-1901 and 1906-1907. A second shaft is located immediately northwest of the first. 120 foot inclined shaft and an 80 foot vertical shaft.
