A former small Cu-Ag-Au mine located in the NE ¼ sec. 24 T.23S., R.19E. and the NW ¼ sec. 19, T.23S., R.20E. (Miller Peak 7.5 minute topo map), 1 mile S of the extreme southern boundary of the Fort Huachuca military reservation, on private land. Produced 1900, 1913-1918.
Mineralization is oxidized copper sulfides with spotty gold and silver values along fractures in steeply tilted Cretaceous Bisbee Group andesite volcanics. The ore zone strikes N20-30E and has a steep NW dip.
Workings are tunnels. Several hundred tons of ore were produced in the early 1900's and from 1913 to 1915.
