A former small underground Pb-Ag-Au-Cu mine located in East-central sec. 13, T.20S. R.22E and sec. 18, T20S, R23E, about ¼ mile SE of the Tombstone Extension Mine, 1½ miles SE of Tombstone, on private land. Owned at times, or in part, by the Woronoco Co., Tombstone Mining Co. and the American Smelting and Refining Co. (ASARCO).
Mineralization is largely oxidized argentiferous galena in vein-like replacements of gougy fault breccia in Cretaceous Bisbee Group beds along a strong fault zone intersected by 'northeast' fissures. The Bisbee beds strike E-W and dip 45-50N in the mine area. The ore zone is 42.67 meters long, 15.24 meters wide, and 1.52 meters thick, with a depth to bottom of 121.92 meters.
Workings include shafts to a depth of 121.92 meters. Workings on 4 levels. The main shoot north of the shaft was worked on all levels, other workings south of the shaft were on the 3rd and 4th levels only. Some intermittent production occurred in the early 1900's and over 40,000 tons of ore were produced from 1930 through 1954 by the group. Production statistics were included under the Tombstone group.
