A former small surface and underground Ag-Pb-Au mine located in South-central sec. 11, T.20S., R. 22E, approximately 1/3 mile south of Tombstone, on private land. Owned at times, or in part, by the Tombstone Mill & Mining Co., Tombstone Consolidated Mines Co., Bunker Hill Mines Co., and the Tombstone Development Co.
Mineralization is a vein deposit with oxidized argentiferous lead mineralization along the Defense fissure zone where it intersects crossing rolls in favorable Cretaceous Bisbee Group beds. The Bisbee Group limestone is recrystallized. Sand and shale were converted to hornfels prior to mineralization.
Workings include both surface and underground workings. A few thousand tons of ore were produced. Production statistics were included under the Tombstone group.
