A former small underground Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au mine located in the corner of secs. 17, 19 & 20, T.17S., R.23E., northwestern margin of the Dragoon Mountains, south of Fourr Canyon, and approximately 5 road miles SW of Dragoon station. Discovered 1911 First produced 1913, also produced 1943 and closed 1952. NOTE: Alternate coordinates provided: 31.9761N, 110.0103W.
Mineralization is zinc with minor lead and copper in tabular replacement bodies in complexly folded and faulted Paleozoic limestone. An associated rock unit is the Stronghold Granite.
Local structures include complex Tertiary faulting of Paleozoic and Cretaceous sediments and Tertiary intrusives; closely folded rocks, deep reverse faults with superimposed metamorphism.
Workings include a shaft(s). About 330 tons of zinc ore were produced intermittently during 1943, 1944, 1949, and 1952. Credited with production of several hundred tons of zinc ore.
