Wolcott Mine
A former small underground Pb-Cu-Ag-Au occurrence/mine located in the SWΒΌ sec. 22, T20S, R22E, approximately 3 miles (ca. 5 km) SW of Tombstone, on private land. Operated by Mr. F. N. Wolcott.
Mineralization is oxidized base metal sulfides in fault zones cutting Pennsylvanian-Permian Naco Group limestone and Cretaceous Bisbee Group beds.
Local structures include the west edge of the block of faulted Naco Limestone surrounded by Bisbee Group on the west and south. The Naco beds strike N-S and dip 15E.
Workings include a shaft(s). About 695 tons of ore were produced in 1911.
