A former small underground Cu-Zn-Ag-Au mine located in the SW ¼ sec. 2 & the SE ¼ sec. 3, T.24S., R.20E. (Montezuma Pass 7.5 minute topo map). First produced 1937. Operated by C.B. Strickland (1937). Operated by Mr. Schwarzenbach (1973).

Mineralization is partially oxidized copper and zinc sulfides with quartz in spotty orebodies along fault fissures in Cretaceous Bisbee Group beds and in exotic blocks of Paleozoic limestone in Triassic-Jurassic volcanics cut by the Huachuca Quartz Monzonite.

Workings include tunnel workings. About 90 tons of ore were produced in 1937.
