Mineralization is partially oxidized copper ores in irregular replacement orebodies in relatively unaltered Cambrian Abrigo and Devonian Martin limestones along the Dallas fault zone and adjacent fracture zones.
Local structures include common pre-mineralization faulting and tilting. Main fault directions are N10W to N40E and S30W to N50W.
Workings include a deep shaft. Probably produced several hundred thousand tons of ore; included in Calumet & Arizona and Phelps Dodge totals after 1915.
